➜Lol.
.. and who is asking u the meaning of halal? Let me spell it out for u since u dont seem to understand English. I said I rather buy from African stores or those muslim stores that sell halal meat than buy cured, tasteless meat from the stores. Read to understand not to reply and sound woke.

That you have successfully convinced yourself that meat bought from African stores or Muslim stores tastes better than meat bought elsewhere is fine. However, claiming that means that meat sold elsewhere is treated with chemicals with supposedly strip them of taste is false information.

Mom007:
➜Go and sit down. I said what I said. If you can't Deal with it, that's your problem. A little research would cure u of your ignorance but no, u are here forming nairaland overlord. Simple thing that almost every Nigerian knows, or why do u think we buy our meat, shrimp and fish from the African or halal stores?

Stop making stuff up!

If you only had Google as your friend and looked up the meaning of the word "halal" you would quickly cure yourself of ignorance there.

Halal food is that which adheres to Islamic law, as defined in the Koran. The Islamic form of slaughtering animals or poultry, dhabiha, involves killing through a cut to the jugular vein, carotid artery and windpipe. Animals must be alive and healthy at the time of slaughter and all blood is drained from the carcass.

Halal has to do with how the meat is killed.

As for purchasing meat from African stores, that is simply a preference of yours.

➜Not everyone is stressed and traumatized. Majority of us, Christians are happy and delighted that they have hope beyond death. Stop taking out your frustration on people. Don't generalize your life experiences. So many of us are living a good, happy and blissful life. Jesus is Lord.

Stop telling this obviously ridiculous lie!🥱🥱🥱

People go to the hospital only when sick or have to be there for checkups. Only those who earn their living from those hospitals are expected to be there daily. The only patients who show up every day are those who are constantly worried about being sick or need to get daily transfusions of some sort. The driving motivation for most Christians, the major reason why the majority of you frequent your church meetings and programs stems from anxiety and frustration over the happenings in your life and families. Some even believe that somehow their Christian deity only rewards them if they show up for these church meetings. If the majority were as happy as you claim — had no anxieties or needs— there would be no need for frequent visits, would there?

➜ Firstly this is not for those who go to church because they have been told Christianity is the way to success , or that Christianity is ticket to heaven after death, other the growing population that use church for networking for business.
If the real reason you go to church is solely to know God n improve on your spirituality then it's only a matter of time before you see the hypocrisy n deception in the church. I can't talk about my experience as a missionary n staying in the house of one of the mighty men in Christianity doom in Nigeria, nobody cares about you, you just part of the statistics when it comes to attendance n collection of tithes n offering. You pastor is just like u, he has the same temptations you have, he commits the same sin you commit. The only hope for Africa is our traditional religion. Summon someone to the church n summon someone to the shrine n see who gets justice first. Take your problem to the church n take your problem to the shrine n see who gets help first. A traditional worshiper is less likely to scam you compared to a Christian. Most importantly you will discover spirituality n morality in the our traditional religion than in the church.
➜ Ifa for example is not only a religion but a science ( binary science), Ayelala is not just a religion but a justice system. Yet we were lied to n we threw away everything. The only hope for Africa is going back to our roots. There so much lies n hypocrisy in the rank n file of the church.
See where one man one wife has taken us to. We have more slay queen whose time have elapsed for marriage, many many single mothers.
The awakening has started.

These are all just the same old nonsense assertions! All religions, including your local African religions, are the same. They are all by humans whose success rates are no different from the rest. Go to your prisons in Nigeria and you will find they are equally filled with people who failed to obtain justice or help from both the Ifa gods and the gods of the other religions in Nigeria. 😩😩😩😩

Abeg, make una stop to dey tell these ridiculous and stale lies in 2025. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Mom007:
➜The way some of you speak in such absolutes.. as if you are omnipresent and ominiknowest... by the time the westerners are telling you that they don't like the strong 'fishy' taste of fish, or you see the way they gag when they perceive the smell of fish from your bag if you are just coming in at the airport... or the way the fish or beef you buy at the supermarkets are not only tasteless, but so watery and have a slight chlorine taste.. or the fact that most of the beef sold in supermarkets are 28 days cured. if its not the same where you are or where u shop, just say so and pass, don't come and write that there is no truth to my comment as if I stand to gain anything by lying on nairaland.

Again, there is absolutely no truth to any of the claims you continue to make regarding meat abeg! Stop making things up just for the sake of it abeg! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

pacificom:
The reason why Nigerians are suffering today is because of looted public fund like this.

No, it is because the people don't desire a better life for their society. They would rather wait for their turn at the loot than demand collectively that it all go towards benefitting everyone.

NSK4U:
✓ Very useless woman. No impact with all she has acquired. I will never pray to share identity with anyone whose impact will not be felt despite their achievements. What's her gain now? What if she had used the money to create industries or made her space worth beneficial to her people? Will anyone talk about repatriation or 're-looting' which is going to be the case now?

Has any looter in the history of Nigeria made any impact of substance all this while?

Mom007:
✓ Seems they soak their beef in a sort of chemical to get rid of the beefy taste. Same for fish and shrimps, exceptyoubuy at african stores. Chicken is too soft, milk tastes like water, eggs are tasteless. Butter is tasteless. Bread has no sugar in It. The matter is somehow.

There is absolutely no truth to any of what you claim here. 🙄😩😩😩😩

My partner and I got married legally in the UK. We are planning to do a Nigerian wedding now.
Please are we legally allowed to do a court marriage in Nigeria again? We understand the first marriage certificate from UK will be the valid one, but can we conduct another ceremony in Nigeria?

You are both already married but want to do a Nigerian wedding while also signing legal marriage documents? For what purpose?

If all you want is a Nigerian wedding ceremony without needing to sign another marriage certificate, I can understand that. But wanting to sign another marriage certificate...what for?

IamMoses123:
✓ Please guys, I need your help, I am really going nut and I am loosing my mind, got married February 2023, and our sex lives was very great, we had fun almost on daily bases. She took in that same month of our marriage, but since then, having sex with my wife has been a huge task, through out the 9 months pregnancy I only had sex with her twice. Which I tried to understand with her, because some women's body react differently.
She gave birth November 2023 though through C.S, i gave her enough time like 4 months before I started making attempt again, and I felt everything will return back to normal, but it was as if the child birth aggravated the whole thing, she turns down every attempt with almost no excuse. She just gives flimsy excuses that she's not in the mood. I have had series of discussions with her on how I have been frustrated and she down plays all my serious feelings. I even jokingly threaten to get it from outside, yet she still doesn't take me seriously.
Sincerely, I have suffered emotionally and mentally.
Mind you, I provide for the family to my very best and i am very sure she doesn't cheat on me. Please guys I need help on this, I am really loosing my mind.

Make an appointment to see a professional marriage counselor for help since communication has become a major issue in your marriage. With the aid of a counselor you should maybe be better able to understand your wife's particular reason and then move forward from there towards helping her get back to normal or maybe deciding if best to call it quits on the marriage at this point in time.

✓ You're right. But that was black market rate though.
Besides, if you juxtapose the FG and most states' budgets of 2000 with 2025, you'll discover at least 500% increase so it's not peculiar to Lagos State alone.

I have absolutely no idea what you are getting at or arguing about here. You are free to post your own number if you feel what I posted may be off.

gabazin080:
I have been married for 10 years and we have 3 wonderful kids. She took a well paying but stressful job recently and her sex drive has reduced drastically. We now have sex like just 4 times in a month.
She doesn't ask and if i ask it is always excuse of fatigue. She doesn't cheat, i am 100% sure of that. She even told me she wont mind if i find another girl to satisfy my urge. I am not the type that can cheat too. So I am worried on what could cause this change. Someone told me it could be an infection

Why kain question be this one?

You said it yourself she now has a stressful job yet you are asking us what could have caused it? 😏

➜Oh I understand, so you're a master of disguise when it comes to "he" and "she", talk about gender on demand!..
I’ve heard lot of things that don’t sit right about you here, People have been saying some pretty negative stuff, even questioning your character. They’ve made some comments about your opinions being off-point, and some rumors are going around that you smoke weed. Honestly, I don’t believe any of it, because I know you, and I know that’s not true. I just wanted to bring it up, because I think it’s important we clear the air and not let false things define you. You’re more than what others say, and I respect you for who you are. Don’t let their words mess with your vibe.

When it comes to Nigerians in particular, I really don't give a flying f0ck about what they think or say of me. So, you are best not wasting your energy on such things. 😩😩😩😩

WhiteIverson:
➜As humans evolve, what is and isn't acceptable changes. The bible is edited to align with these changes.

If you truly believe what you have written has in fact taken place — basically, the original message and intentions of the original authors have been lost— then why insist the book is of value still?

How can a book that has been altered with the times be considered to be of historical value?

Ibkay32:
➜Absolutely not! You're allowed to prioritize your peace and focus on what truly matters to you. Not every mention deserves your energy or attention. Keep doing you!
If I may ask, are you male or female? What's meaning behind your moniker?

I am a he when I need to be and a she when I need to be.

The Kobo, like the cent, is the monetary unit equal to ¹/₁₀₀ of the Naira in Nigeria.

Who inspires humans to write any book out there?

Ibkay32:
➜You seems to ignored your mentions up there 😂

I am under no obligation to care about every mention, right? 😏

WhiteIverson:
If it has and can be improved, why do you still call it holy? The Bible is just history that has been scripted and manipulated to suit human narratives.

Suit human narratives? But every book in the collection was written by human hands and meant for human consumption.

mariovito:
➜Becomes a question of the infallibility of god's word.
➜having the Bible edited will amount to implicitly agreeing that the holy books are not the direct word of god which is what most religions preach

How so?

2. What holy books? Which of the many different translations do you refer to as holy?

udomonday:
➜You have the mentality of a kid.you are not ripe enough for marriage.in marriage people come together to compliment and support one another.you don't marry a woman to take care of her as if she is a sick and disabled person. any woman that goes into a relationship with the mentality that the man is supposed to sorely take care of her every need and want is not a good choice for a wife.

This notion is very wrong! 😏

As you rightly said, in marriage people come together to complement and support each other. Nothing wrong for a man with money to marry himself a woman whom he would support financially for her to complement and support him in other ways. I mean look at someone like Ned Nwoko and that gal he married. He provides her financial support while she supports him in other ways.

OP's particular issue here is that, without having the ability to financially provide he chose to date a woman who desires to have a man who will provide her with financial support. And after discovering this, rather than disengage, OP continues to hold on to her against common sense! The woman's desire isn't the problem but rather OP refuses to let go of what he is aware he cannot handle. Of course, the woman should also consider letting OP go but that does not in any way remove OP from fault here.

➜... The world dont need to really edit/update directly(though some scriptures have been directly removed in most e-Bibles).
➜We have altered it already and we will keep altering/editing/updating the Holy Books. Even the Bible said so, particularly at these end of days.
➜We all have adjusted doctrines, modified and twisted the word of God to suite our perception and not God's rules. God help us All, including You and myself. Happy New Year.

1. What scriptures have been directly removed from your e-bibles?

2. Are you referring to the over 45,000 doctrines/denominations of the religion of Christianity, all of which are completely removed from the declarations contained in the book that is confirmed authored by men of Israelite descent?

3. You mean the God of Israel(and His Son Jesus Christ) who swore by His name that His one and only people are those who have the blood of Jacob in their veins?

➜I told her that she will pay the t.p if am paying the bills when we go out

OK! You gave her a choice and she chose to walk away. There is no crime in that. Maybe what you should do better next time is to find yourself a woman who would be OK with paying T.P. if you are paying the bills when you both go out.... end of story.

MadeMan01:
➜My friend give me your opinion before you take your rabies vaccine. Me too I have caustic tongue. I'm not dealing with her, I just want opinions to see if I was overlooking anything as to whether a man can walk out of his kid and wife without seeing the kid for years. House please your opinions , no insulting

Simple question for you! Did the woman in question force you to date her or have anything to do with her and her kid? 🙄🙄

The likely answer here is No! If you have a problem with her situation and story, you are free to conveniently back away and let someone else who will love her despite that take the seat. All these ridiculous assertions of yours about how no man would abandon a woman pregnant with his child are coming from a place of clearly dubious intentions since these things happen pretty much every day across the world. Nigeria alone has millions of children roaming the streets daily as a result of this very same.🙄🙄🙄🙄
