Recently, mom called me from the East and during our conversation, I subtly asked her "how about that pastor"?

Mum said...... "All he's about is money. I don't go there anymore. He wants to wreck people".

Sadly, all if the churches of this world are run by the very false teachers and false prophets. Oh, in fact anyone who bows to the doctrines and traditions of the churches of this world no go enter Heaven at all at all.

I am believing God to save my own family from the lie that is men and their churches too.

Belafonte:
You don't need a OverEducated woman as wife, yet that is exactly what this thread is about, I man it's right there in the title . Can you show me where I said I don't want an educated woman?

Bros, why are you fighting yourself? Please tell me you're okay

well, saying you want a woman with general knowledge, no degrees implies that you like them without education.

Mariangeles:
I hope Chat is able to get what you need sha.

Me too!

But I am now interested in knowing how people here hook up by location.

This specie is called indian spinach and we have the reddish variety as well...The thing plenty everywhere jaare....Even have it in my place sef..

It goes to our market based on order...And very commonly consumed by the aged, men with prostrate issues and fertility wahala.

I don't know about the specie you refer to since the picture I posted is instead of Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) which is commonly eaten here.

A PhD can be for whatever reason the aspirer wants it to be. Millions of people get PhDs for divers reasons. Some for personal fulfilment, others for career advancement (read status, financial improvement), the reasons are as numerous as the number of people applying for and earning them

sure but it is usually for more than just the money as there is great prestige to be hard with all that knowledge and achievement.

Belafonte:
Most women want to and, in fact, do marry men who are of higher status than they are na . Is this not common knowledge? I mean, unemployed-but-married women outnumber their unemployed-but-married probably on a ratio of 1000:1

Is there a woman that wants to marry a man she's doing better than

I would like to extend you an invitation to reality... do visit sometime, so you can stop trying to analyze it all according to personal delusions you have stored your over the years.

francisisking:
but still you don't have to turn yourself to the law... When jesus told people go and sin no more, he didn't tell them to go and turn themselves up to the law to be law to be tried.

Jesus Christ, the one who is God's New Covenant Law, which God commanded you to obey, is the Law we are called to live by. And He clearly declared that those who love Him and belong to Him are those who obey His commandments- John 14 vs 15 - 25. . When Jesus Christ said in Luke 6 vs 46 - 49, that you shouldn't call Him Lord, Lord, I'd you don't obey His commandments, He meant it.

So, when Jesus Christ taught that you should go seek forgiveness from those who have ought against you on order to receive forgiveness from God, the expectation is that you obey His commandment, so God will forgive you.

Belafonte:
I'm not asking why women want in men, I know, and in the same vein I'm expressing what an ideal woman should possess

This below is what you asked

Belafonte:
I'd like to know how many women with multiple degrees are okay marrying a man of lower educational status?

If you're a woman who has a Masters of Doctorate on this forum, I'd like to know if your ideal man has less educational qualifications as you. Not a man you can marry, a man you'd like to marry. Thanks

You can't express what an ideal women should possess this since pretty much all of your understanding of women is heavily biased by your own insecurities as an individual. You revealed this yourself when you pretty much declared the woman you want is one that is less in stature than yourself.

Belafonte:
I make more money than many people who have PhDs, I have absolutely no qualms with having just one degree. In fact, I consider the time I spent getting a waste as it doesn't feed with the qualifications I earned the degree in.

What is the purpose of amassing multiple, mostly useless degrees

A PHD has never really been about money, you see. So, many you need to work on understanding exactly why people seek out knowledge for the sake of knowledge in many of those cases.

I think knowing this will bring light to your "adequate" existence.

Belafonte:
Fee free to point out the inadequacies wherever they may be. Perhaps, I may learn and have a change of opinion

You did that yourself when you revealed you just don't have what those you tag "over educated" women are looking for in a man... is what is eating at you.

Why else would your turn around. After failed attempts at bashing them, to then ask what they seek in a man?

Belafonte:
Smh. Don't you have a husband to cook for or something?

Oh so now I need to have a husband to cook for?

You came here to showcase your inadequacies and you take offense when it is made clear to you?

AdeOri99:
Better like murderers. It's understandable if you die untimely, but neglecting your kids?. You're a murderer!

I am an orphan, I know what I went through to get to this stage, I had to be heartless and turn blind eye towards my environment else I will be taken up in it, I can easily become a sociopath because people are selfish and take advantage of you when they know you only have them. Its by some special grace I scale through, and even though I am still keeping up with my hardness, I hope to do good and show kindness to anyone deserving of it once I am comfortable and free from these foolish people.

Those who push me to the world and hardened my heart against my will, I never shall forgive them or their type, i never forgive, it is beyond my power.

I second that motion in bold!

Belafonte:
You're not making sense. Relax and take a deep breath and try to be coherent

How could I make sense when you simply created this here thread to broadcast your personal preferences/bias as if to be shared by all?

Mariangeles:
Ok. What about mangoes?
There are different varieties, but we know all of them as mangoes.

If I was looking for a particular species of mango, announcing they are all mangoes wouldn't really help now, would it?

It's the same thing. I know Achara is definitely not Elephant grass (pennisetum purpureum), nor the common species found all over Nigeria. Telling me that it is Elephant grass does not help me as I would need more information than that to go on. That is why I asked for help in obtaining an image of the actual plant.

Belafonte:
1. I'm sorry, did I put a gun to anyone's head? I have simply stated what I believe to be ideal, while also stating that I welcome opposing views. It's left for people to agree or disagree, confirm or not. In the end, time and chance will hand down consequences. You really need to learn to calm your tits and be less emotional.

2. Adequately educated means I am educated enough to earn well and live a relatively comfortable life. Far above the national average.

b. Women not desiring submissive men is a fact of life. I haven't run any polls yet, but I'm sure women also desire financial stable men/men of means.

c. You do not know what I look like, so your comment is irrelevant at best and trolly at worst. Point dismissed

Now that we have established your worth, why not post this information on a dating sight so women who find men of your low caliber appealing can flock to give you the attention you deserve?

Announcing your desperation via a thread like this isn't really the way to find yourself a mate at all, youngman.

Mariangeles:
They’ve told you it’s elephant grass, you no gree take am.

Have you thought maybe it’s a different specie of elephant grass compared to the one you know?

That is exactly why telling me it is elephant grass means nothing then. Telling me a flower is a flower does not help me narrow down to finding the name of the particular flower that I seek, does it?

How?

Can we meet and talk about this? I want to join my faith with yours let's see what we can do.

Huh?

Kobo alaroro!

i am not being stingy at all. This information is for the benefit of us all, isn't it?

Speaking of, are there meetup areas here on nairaland where members living in certain cities come together to identify themselves by location?

James 1:13-15
[13]Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
[14]But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
[15]Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Adam disobeyed God and brought evil, sin and imperfection to us.
If he hadn't sin there wouldn't be any evil in this world today.
Evil came came has a result of his actions.

If it is the case that you don't understand what James is there trying to tell you, then say so. Else, try to pay attention to the discussion at hand......

1. Again....Well, in a sense, Paul's opinion that everything God created is good (including the Evil that He created) is not far from God's Truth. I mean after all it was all of it, created according to God's specifications - Good and Evil alike. And the fact that God even put a tree of knowledge of both Good and Evil in His garden, long before man showed up on the scene, speaks volumes of this.

2. So we are back to me asking you exactly where in scripture you get this idea to attribute the creation of evil to man. I mean you could have said Satan created Evil but instead you attribute evil to men and I am curious to understand where this idea of yours comes from. Surely, God's own declarations should hold greater value than the opinions of Paul in this.

3. Also consider the fact that the knowledge of Good and Evil predates man. So can man be said to be creator of that which came before him?

If Evil came into being after Adam sinned... so what about your other theory of a devil(evil being) tempting Adam before this sin?

digitite:
I understand what you are saying. But does the Holy Spirit play a part in Christian relationship. Instead of relying on our carnal nature ?

Define this "Carnal nature" you speak of?

Gen2jaynee:
What name is SPINACH called in our local markets?

Spinach is a leafy green flowering plant native to central and western Asia. It is of the order Caryophyllales, family Amaranthaceae, subfamily Chenopodioideae. Its leaves are a common edible vegetable consumed either fresh, or after storage using preservation techniques by canning, freezing, or dehydration.

I never see Spinach for our markets before.

ikechukz:
In my tribe Zulu,it is called 'green'

"Green" is instead instead name for the local Amaranthus vegetable. That isn't spinach though.

Hi, you want Achara?

Hi! Abeg, you fit help me get picture of the plant or know someone who fit abeg?

The Achara plant mystery... I want to solve it once and for all abeg.

Belafonte:
1. What's wrong with having preferences and requirements? Do women not have them? Do women not have an ideal of what their husbands should be?

2.a. I'm adequately educated.
b I'm not submissive, women do not desire submissive men, not do I even have any interest in being submissive.
c. I'm quite good-looking, if I d say so myself

d.I speak when necessary and have developed the habit of listening to dissenting opinions when presented to sift out wisdom

1. You are here broadcasting your personal preferences as if right for all of us is the issue. You ignore every other individuals right to their own when you come here announcing yours as if the superior list. And I am simply trying to ascertain what it is you bring to the table so to speak that makes you believe so.

2. a What do you mean by adequately-educated?

b. Women do not desire submissive men, and you came away with this after polling exactly how many women?

c. I bet Tinubu and Obasanjo also tell themselves they are good-looking but we know the truth. Do women see you as good-looking or is this all about the voices in your head?

d. Alright.

armyofone:


Don't make okra or ogbono soup in the microwave.

lol....that one is tricky but still doable I am certain.

I first heat up the okra in its bag until cooked before then adding it to the soup and "pulsing" - heating up the soup for many seconds at a time.

1 Timothy 4:4
[4]Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks. Evil came from man.

Well, in a sense, Paul's opinion that everything God created is good (including the Evil that He created) is not far from God's Truth. I mean after all it was all of it, created according to God's specifications - Good and Evil alike. And the fact that God even put a tree of knowledge of both Good and Evil in His garden, long before man showed up on the scene, speaks volumes of this.

1. How did evil come to the world?

2. God didn't give him option between good and evil, he only told him not to eat of the tree.
It was the devil and man disobedience that brought evil to the earth!

1. The same way good came into the world.

2. Really?

16 The Lord God gave him this command: “You may eat from any tree in the garden.
17 But you must not eat from the tree that gives knowledge about good and evil. If you eat fruit from that tree, on that day you will certainly die!” - Genesis 2 vs 16 vs 17

Doesn't that read as though an if .....else ....conditional, options?

Earlier you had mentioned something about "freewill" , so are you trying to tell us that instead God tried to force Adam to doing His Will then?
