➜I don’t want to have stupid children tomorrow.

Dating does not fix that. Rather, improving your particular social and emotional intelligence is how you can better ensure that. 🤔

Choosing to date uneducated, non-financially responsible, and unestablished women when what you would instead like to have the opposite is not a them problem but a you problem.Uoi first need to make a clear plan -- on paper, maybe --, then figure out why you continually gravitate towards partners who do not serve your purpose--- understand well the detrimental patterns that drives you and nip them in the bud. Afterwards, you will be better able to get choose and then date only those sets of partners to help you in accomplishing your goal provided you do not falter, and who knows, maybe you will eventually get the sort of children you desire. 🤔

✓ Its not an achievement, when you are 30 without a wife or girlfriend.
✓ You will always be Hot and staring at your cealing every night like you are cursed.
Some shameless and weak*** will resolve to watching porn and jerking off. What a shameless behaviour watching other men doing the things you want to do.
✓ I am not financially ok to get married and knacking out of wedlock is prohibited to me. I just dey vex

1. Given the prevalent mentality down there, even with the world as it is, remaining single and childless after 30 is big deal. 🥱🥱

2. Your personal lack of sexual control should not be copy-pasted/projected onto others out there. If at 30, you have yet to get control over your sexual urges, then tell us how or why anyone should consider you fit to be a possible life partner? 🥱🥱

3. Siddon dey vex or get out there and get yourself the emotional and mental development you need for the long haul. 🥱🥱🥱

What is dating?

Explain to me this supposedly intellectual aspect to dating. What aspect of dating connects to global politics? 🥱🥱🥱

“Women in Nigeria don’t know how to hold an intellectual conversation.”
According to what I've noticed most Nigerian women frequently ask very basic or surface‑level questions (like favourite colours, take me shopping, How much do you earn, Can you take care of me? buy me food, I want a BBL, Buy me ice-cream and exes gfs) instead of engaging in deep, meaningful discussions.
Do Nigerian women even know about space, the galaxies, Extra-terrestrial live and visitation etc
Do they know about exo planets!
Have they heard of the James webb telescope!
Nigerian men please discuss your findings on una women

What has intellectualism to do with dating? 😩😩😩

Ruth15:
Good day everyone.
So over the weekend,my boyfriend and I visited a spiritualist. Our reason was because he has been unable to get my pregnant and due to the problems he has been facing in his finances.
After incantation,the spiritualist who is a woman told him that he was the one who has got infertility problem. And the reason is due to the fact that he has a spiritual wife
And thats the reason he has been unable to get me pregnant.
She told us she would perform some sacrifices and appease the gods on his behalf. So ,my people,has anyone here faced such similar things before? Should I be worried? Because I'm a very doubtful person,I think it may just be an illusion or something.
Please mods,help me push this to the front page so that I can get advise from the other elders.

He has financial problems, you are both not married, yet pregnancy is the problem on your minds? Oi vey! 😩😩

Are you at least financially secure yourself or are you expecting this boyfriend of yours to carry the load all by himself after you have this kid you are looking for? 😩😩😩

AntiChristian:
✓ UK needs the continuation of the slave trade and a means of generating steady income for themselves!
✓ The 12 disciples lose Judas. And Paul (and his companion Luke) claimed Jesus apeared to Paul on his way from Damascus. And the 11 disciples appointed Mathias (not Paul) after praying to the same Jesus as the 12th Disciple.

The Islamic slave trade lasted longer than the English slave trade, we are talking over 1400 years of slavery celebrated in Islam. England happens to be one of the first countries that began fervently working against the slave industry that existed long before it became a country.

Unfortunately, in the Islamic world, slaves continue to be sold to date with Afghanistan literally announcing its return to the slave trade only recently. 😩😩😩

2. So? Matthias was ready to be paired up and sent out. Paul, and probably several others was not at that point in time. 🥱🥱

Again, try to process this more objectively. Judas who was literally identified as the son of the devil was sent out without issue. (Jesus Christ of Israel Himself chosen him.) So, why make an issue of Paul not being chosen immediately after his so called vision? 🥱🥱

Tekashi89:
Hey guys, my dating life sulks, I haven't been really lucky with girls ever since my secondary School days. Since I was born I've only dated two girls and that was way back in 2016 and last year in 2025.
I tend to attract more guys, single mothers or older women (very old women tend to like me).
I don't know what's it with me that tends to push away younger girls (note I'm 180cm 60kg) light skin most people say I'm handsome. But I don't know why I can't attract young single girls.
Where ever I go I tend to attract only single mothers and when a young girl even start getting attracted to me I'll later discover that she acts that way to every other guy around so there's nothing special about me.
I'm thinking of going spiritual but I just thought I should post it here first.
So guys I need your advice on this issue pls

There is nothing spiritual about your issue. Na handsome you expect say these girls wan chop from you abi wetin? I suggest you begin by looking for girls whose standards are low enough that all they want is a man around them. The young girls you keep chasing after until now seem to see you offering them nothing but mere looks, and that is likely why they would rather just consider you a part-time indulgence than a full-time commitment. 🥱🥱

➜Keep quiet. Stop trying to sound intelligent and end up being dumb. Obviously from this crude oil windfall, the government can afford to sell to Dangote in Naira at least until the whole USA, Israel, Iran war ends (since we are using that as an excuse now).
➜ It is a responsibility that the government can handle for its citizens.

Interesting take!!

So, the crude oil windfall Nigerian government's ability to then afford to sell to Dangote in Naira, forcing Nigerians into paying even more at the pumps, at least until the US-Iran War ends? Is this what you are getting us to see? 🥱🥱

2. The responsibility of the government is to make life hell for the citizens? 🥱🥱

$1 is currently equal to Naria 1,385.84

Naira 1300 per litre is literally $3.55 per gallon of fuel. So, Tinubu saved Nigeria from a global crisis by having Nigerians pay more at the pump than people in many parts of the United States pay? Make una dey enjoy una paradise! 🤐🤐🤐

MiamiLord:
He got married years back, a very lavish traditional and white wedding, you will think is a governor's son that is doing all this.
After everything he took the girl to Europe, she became something else, he saw her knacking one white head...that's how the marriage ended.
Fortunately for her, she is still there in Europe doing good for herself....from trenches to Europe.
Today again, he is planning on marrying another girl from trenches and he wants to take her to Europe.
Why sense dey far from my brother like this?
Mind you, he has never taken any of his siblings to Europe to go and hussle.
He doesn't take advise. I have stopped giving him advise.

As long as the money he is spending is his, you shouldn't worry yourself much.🥱🥱🥱

fattprince:
➜You wouldn't believe how this girl treats me. Though it might sound like nothing but the day she helped me press a pimple on my face and used her finger to wipe the pus, even my sister use my fingers to do that anytime she press it for me. That simple gesture just made me realize there are somethings she will be willing to do for me to some extent.

That's actually a very bad way to press a pimple. But I see you are also an attached being, yourself, also looking for signs in the wrong places. 🥱🥱🥱

fattprince:
➜I'm not holding it against her, I just don't want her holding it against me in future. In fact she's at the forefront when it comes to ladies I hope to build my family with.

She is one out of many, and you don't expect her to hold that against you in case you happen to be her one and only, as most attached means do? 🥱🥱🥱

franvincoop:
Kobo, you have been MIA these past weeks. Where have you been? I hope all is well. Welcome back!!!!
Religion is opium of the masses.
You are consistent with your opinion on the other thread - marriage = endurance or enjoyment. Did black luna or whatever her name is know if Grace was also praying the same prayer? To you, Grace just knowsay your man go dey share you with black luna, know dis and know peace.

The majority of religious people out there are just rolling balls of anxiety and fear, nothing more. Living life scares the literal crap out of them, which is why religion and its lies are the opium they mostly seek out. 🥱🥱

My mistake! 🥱🥱

ComeToJesus:
Why not promote your own mundane faith of atheism or polytheism? Always hounding faith based topics and wanting others to feel godless, dejected, self righteous and confused.

I am neither an atheist nor a polytheist. I am irreligious. However, just making certain you lot realize that there are over 4000 different deities — religions— out there, all of them deserving of equal respect same as the delusion you are pushing. 🥱🥱

From the above, it is crystal clear that the healing hasn't arrived. Keep roaming Momma 😃 😀 The clothed ones are the most interesting..

This one thinks he insults me by claiming I roam from section to section on Nairaland.🥱🥱🥱

Lukuluku69:
✓ Roaming Momma, that tag is no longer in fashion with the owners of the English Language.Why do you still use it? Being over loyal to your European Masters?

I have never been English, nor do i care the entomology of the previous use. My simple reasoning is those who worship Mohammed are Mohammedans. 🥱🥱

fattprince:
✓ Did you mean uncomfortable, because comfortable is a good thing, isn't it?
✓ True I thought of this attachment then, and I try as much as I could to know if that was it by asking her if she wouldn't be coming to slam me with lawsuits in the future about how I deceive(I can't remember the words they use now) her with a naivety. But she told no that whatever she's doing now, it's her decision and she's ready to face the consequences of it. Trust me I reflects on our relationship a lot just to make sure I'm not grooming her or doing anything that will hurt her emotionally or mentally.

1. You are right that I meant uncomfortable rather than comfortable. 🥱🥱

2. That it is likely attachment does not necessarily mean that you kidnapped or cajoled her. Only that if or when her brain finally develops to the point that she is able to tell it apart from love and begins to act appropriately, you shouldn't hold it against her. 🥱🥱🥱

Olufemiolaolu:
That's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. I'm referring to a good marriage and not a bad marriage

If we ask you now to define good marriage, you go carry us enter another storytime. 🥱🥱🥱

Cashylyx:
➜Why Wasn’t Paul One of the Twelve Apostles? The man often referred to as “Paul the Apostle” wrote (or is traditionally credited with writing) 13 of the 27 books of the New Testament. 🙂
There are several reasons, but the simplest is that Jesus called all his earliest disciples from among his own people in the region around [b]Galilee in what is today northern Israel.[/b] Although Paul (then called Saul) may have been in Jerusalem during or shortly after the crucifixion, he was originally from Tarsus on the southern coast of modern-day Turkey, and it’s unlikely he would have spent much time in the rural villages of Galilee.
➜ Worse, as soon as he learned of the nascent Jesus movement, he began persecuting it, condoning the murder of Stephen (the first martyr of the church) and arresting new believers (Acts 8:1-3).
But God had something different in mind for Paul. Sometime around 34 AD🙂 — a few years after the Ascension — Jesus appeared to him as he was traveling to Damascus, struck him blind, and uttered those famous words that would change the course of history: “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” 🙂(Acts 9:4).
As Paul later explained, “God had set me apart from birth and called me through his grace. He was pleased to reveal his Son to me, so that I might preach about him to the Gentiles” (Galatians 1:15-16; see also Acts 9:15, Gal. 2:7-. 🙂In other words, it was Paul’s worldliness — his Roman citizenship 🙂and Greek education together with his devout Jewish background — that made him uniquely positioned to become the “apostle to the Gentiles.”

1. Your reasoning is illogical. Why? Jesus Christ was a Jew(of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and probably the Levi). Paul's mother was said to have been of the Levite clan. They were, both of them, Jews, meaning Jesus Christ of Israel was a Jew just like Paul and his poeple were also Jews. Another point of illogicality to your claim is that you assume that Galilee and Tarsus were only inhabited by either Jews or non-Jewish people, aka Gentiles**, aka descendants of the other 10 tribes of Israel. Samaritans, for instance, were Gentiles— Samaritans were not descendants of Judah, Benjamen and/or Levi. And there were other non-Jewish Israelites who were preached to by Jesus Christ of Israel. 🥱🥱🥱

2. The God of Israel, YHWH, said, through His prophets, that He would pour out visions and dreams on all Israelites of that time, the final days before His judgment against the land and the poeple of Israel by way of His Law. What happened to Paul — the vision— was in no way unique to him as it was prophesied to befall all the Isreals... all (Israelites) eyes would see Jesus Christ coming and His Kingdom coming.🥱🥱

So, yeah, Paul's story was in no way unique. And his letters, documenting what may have been his personal experience, are just that, his experiences and nothing more(not Scripture). Paul never considered his words scripture, and he never pushed his letters off as words of scripture on any of those to whom he sent them— no indication of this in any of his letters. The same goes for the letters of the other disciples. They never insinuated that their letters meant for others were scripture from the mouth of God like the words of the Prophets of Old and Jesus Christ of Israel. It is really sad to see people worshipping them as though they are that. 🥱🥱

** Gentiles are Israelites who are not descended from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and probably Levi— the Jewish tribes.

Now, to Jeremiah's lament in Jeremiah 20, instead of simply doing random search features to find and cherry-pick verses out of context, at least spend time reading through the passage before posting to better understand what the message really is. If you were to read what is written in the passage below from Jeremiah 20, you will find that Jeremiah didn't, in fact, mean that God did fool him, but rather that he felt his situation was a little harder than he would have liked. This is a man who had to carry a doomsday warning message for the people for a period that spanned about 30 years. He was impacted by it— people hated and plotted against him because of it— and he, Jeremiah, expressed it in the passage which you seemed to have glossed over. It was a seriously tough mission, and the people did not spare him at all. He didn't say God literally fooled him, as in deceived him by way of lies or untruths. 🥱🥱

He probably didn't expect the work to be as hard as it was. I mean, being a prophet, most of us would imagine enjoying favor and the good things, but that was not the case with Jeremiah. Reading through his writings, you get the sense that he may have been depressed at some point by it all. 🥱🥱

7. Lord, you tricked me, and I certainly was fooled. You are stronger than I am, so you won. I have become a joke. People laugh at me and make fun of me all day long.
8 Every time I speak, I shout. I am always shouting about violence and destruction. I tell the people about the message that I received from the Lord. But they only insult me and make fun of me.
9 Sometimes I say to myself, “I will forget about him. I will not speak anymore in his name.” But when I say that, his message is like a fire burning inside me! It feels like it is burning deep in my bones! I get tired of trying to hold his message inside. And finally, I am not able to hold it in.
10 I hear people whispering against me. Everywhere, I hear things that frighten me. Even my friends are speaking against me. People are just waiting for me to make a mistake. They are saying, “Let us lie and say that he did something bad. Maybe we can trick Jeremiah. Then we will have him. We will finally be rid of him. Then we will grab him and take our revenge on him.”
11 But the Lord is with me. He is like a strong soldier. So those who are chasing me will fall. They will not defeat me. They will fail. They will be disappointed. They will be ashamed, and they will never forget that shame.
12 Lord All-Powerful, you test good people. You look deeply into a person’s mind. I told you my arguments against these people. So let me see you give them the punishment they deserve.
13 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! He saves the lives of the poor! He saves them from the wicked!
14 Curse the day that I was born! Don’t bless the day my mother had me.
15 Curse the man who told my father the news that I was born. “It’s a boy!” he said. “You have a son.” He made my father very happy when he told him the news.
16 Let that man be like the cities the Lord destroyed. He had no pity on them. Let him hear shouts of war in the morning; let him hear battle cries at noontime,
17 because he did not kill me while I was in my mother’s womb. If he had killed me then, my mother would have been my grave, and I would not have been born.
18 Why did I have to come out of her body? All I have seen is trouble and sorrow, and my life will end in shame. - Jeremiah 20 vs 18 -

I get it that it is hard to pick up on context when it comes to the Quran and the Hadiths, but when it comes to the Torah(and the Prophets) as well as the Injeel, context is king to understanding the message contained. Otherwise, you are merely reducing the book to a cherry picker's log that would not make sense. 🥱🥱

Antichristian2:
➜I believe He is above being deceitful. But the Biblical God as shown above is contrary to that!

Deceit suggests a hiding of the Truth. The YHWH of Israel never hid the fact that He is the creator of all things, Good and Evil, and all power(of good and evil) belongs in His hands. He is the standard maker and holder for all things.

He also never hid the fact of His Law and the implementation thereof. He made it abundantly clear to His people that He would implement both the blessings and the punishments of the Law, as written in Deuteronomy Chapter 27 to 30. There was no deceit or hiding of this basic detail. The book literally explains in detail how Satan is a servant — not an independent element —used by YHWH of Israel in accomplishing his goals — judgment on His people. 🥱🥱

His Law — in Deuteronomy— makes it explicit that anyone of Israel who speaks false visions or dreams in His name would be punished with death.🥱🥱

1 “A prophet or someone who explains dreams might come to you and tell you that they will show you a sign or a miracle.
2 And the sign or miracle they told you about might come true. Then they might ask you to follow other gods (gods you don’t know) and say to you, ‘Let’s serve these gods!’
3 Don’t listen to them, because the Lord your God is testing you. He wants to know if you love him with all your heart and all your soul.
4 You must follow the Lord your God. Respect him. Obey his commands and do what he tells you. Serve the Lord your God, and never leave him.
5 Also, you must kill that prophet or person who explains dreams, because they told you to turn against the Lord your God. And it was the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, where you were slaves. They tried to pull you away from the life he commanded you to live, so you must kill them to remove this evil from your people. - Deuteronomy 13 vs 1 - 5

Ezekiel 14 vs 6 - 11 literally reiterates the message of what is already presented in the Law of Moses.

6 “So tell the family of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord God says: Come back to me and leave your filthy idols. Turn away from those terrible, false gods.
7 If any Israelites or foreigners who live in Israel come to me for advice, I will give them an answer. I, the Lord, will answer them even if they still have their filthy idols, even if they kept the things that made them sin, and even if they worship those statues. This is the answer I will give them:
8 I will turn against them and destroy them. They will be an example to others. People will laugh at them. I will remove them from my people. Then you will know that I am the Lord!
9 A[b]nd if a prophet is foolish enough to give his own answer, I, the Lord, will show him how foolish he is! I will use my power against him. I will destroy him and remove him from among my people, Israel. [/b]
10 So both the one who came for advice and the prophet who gave an answer will get the same punishment.
11 Why? So that those prophets will stop leading my people away from me, and my people will stop being filthy with sin. Then they will be my special people, and I will be their God.’” This is what the Lord God said. - Ezekiel 14 vs 6 - 11

The difference is that God himself said in this case that He will destroy both the Prophet and anyone else caught in the trap set by him, taking bad advice from said false prophet. 🥱🥱

Antichristian2:
➜It's still the same thing! Who wrote all that? Luke! And who was Luke? Paul's loyal guy!

Again, there is no biblical evidence that the Luke associated with the Gospel of Luke is the very same Luke that is written of in either Colossians 4 vs14, Philemon 1 vs 24, and 2 Timothy 4:11. Why do I say this? The supposed connections between Paul's Luke and the Luke of the Gospels were created by Iraneus, who was a non-Israelite scholar associated with the religion of Christianity and a man known to have made several other erroneous claims regarding the disciples. 🥱🥱

It is sort of like the connection that has been numerously made of the author of the letter of James to James, one of the brothers of Jesus Christ of Israel. There is no concrete evidence for all these supposed connections that exist among Christian Scholars many of whom had no direct or indirect connection to the events that took place in Judea or the region during the first century. 🥱🥱

Antichristian2:
➜ It's the same! Paul never knew Jesus yet the Bible said they met somehow! Now you are saying i can meet Jesus too! Jesus of Israel or Palestine? Black Jesus or brown Jesus or the White actor?

Both the Torah and the Injeel specify that the visions belonged only to the Israelites, and that was at the time that it was given. 🥱🥱

Antichristian2:
➜I just need to know how Paul recognised Jesus's voice in particular and also how he differentiated it from a demon's voice! It could be anyone's voice!

Interesting! 🥱🥱

Nowhere in the Torah or Injeel Scriptures is it stated that demons have the power to inflict visions and dreams on Israelites. If you read the book of the Law and the Prophets, you will note that YHWH was specific about the use of visions and dreams and how those who came to his people claiming false dreams and visions were to be put to death. 🥱🥱

Antichristian2:
➜These doesn't show he was among the Pharisees Jesus met while alive. Paul was a Popular figure! Even Luke was Paul's guy, never wrote anything about his master Paul meeting Jesus for once!
➜ Being a Pharisee does not make Paul know Jesus. I can be going on the road somewhere in Lagos today and claim a voice called me and i saw a bright light....Will that be Jesus too?

1. There is no evidence that the Luke referenced in Paul's letters is the same Luke that the Gospel according to Luke is connected to. So, stating that Luke was Paul's guy is a leap that assumes the word of Ireneus, who lived in the 2nd/3rd century and was not an eyewitness to events in Jerusalem before the destruction of Jerusalem, and was not himself even a Jew or an Israelite. 🥱🥱

2. Well, you are not an Israelite who lived during a time when the YHWH of Israel promised through His prophets that every Israelite would see visions or dream dreams revealing the coming of the Kingdom of God and the end, ushering in His curse on the land and the people. These visions were to be seen by all, including sinners among the Israelites(the Pharisees not excluded). 🥱🥱

Antichristian2:
➜How do we know it was Jesus when Paul never knew him before?

Well, the Law and the Prophets(including Jesus Christ of Israel) proclaimed that all Israelites would see him— via visions and/or dreams— when His Kingdom comes and when He returns. Since the story has it that Paul was an Israelite, it then follows that he, like every other blood Israelite, must have seen him before the end. 🥱

Antichristian2:
➜How did Paul recognize that it was Jesus speaking to him during his encounter on the road to Damascus, considering he had never met Jesus while He was alive and was initially opposed to Him?
➜ Furthermore, how did Paul, who had no prior personal relationship with Jesus, become a devoted follower and go on to write more than half of the New Testament,
➜ surpassing even the other eleven disciples combined?

1. Paul may not have met Jesus Christ of Israel in person, but given that he lived around the same time that Jesus Christ of Israel and, as a Pharisee, he knew well the Law of Moses, Paul would have recognized Jesus Christ of Israel whom the Prophets promised would appear by way of dreams and visions to all the Israelites(Jews included) when the end of days was finally upon them. According to the story, like all the other Israelites of the time, Paul was also granted visions/dreams. 🥱🥱

2. Paul didn't write any Scripture; he wrote letters which happened to have been later collected and appended to a book of writings related to Israelite Scriptures that is called the Bible. 🥱

3. According to the Gospels, Jesus Christ of Israel had at least 72 disciples, all of whom were considered equals in the Kingdom of God, none greater than the others. So, suggesting that Paul surpassed the others goes against what is stated by Jesus Christ of Israel Himself. That a religion was created by the Romans from excerpts taken from Paul's letters has nothing to do with the disciples or Jesus Christ of Israel and His message. 🥱🥱

Emdi1914:
Yeah,Apostle Paul was a Jew and a Pharisee for the record

You forgot to add that Jesus Christ of Israel literally declared that curses would befall the Teachers of the Law of his time, including the Pharisees and Sadducees, of whom Paul was one of.

Anyways, your spiritual nonsense is, on the most part, no different from that of the Christians. I hope you know that?
