I don't really see anything wrong with his comment

You may not but I do.

IOn the other hand, she could be quite a homely and affectionate partner. She cooks well too. These were the qualities that made me propose to her in Benin, about a year ago.

Do you think I should proceed with the relationship?

You have dated this actress for 3 years, but suddenly her acting career is now an issue?

If you are not serious with the girl abeg leave her alone. Don't ruin her career and life abeg!

Life.....
To progress in life is now very hard because since you can't progress alone without the assistance of someone, then that person who supposed to be your anchor is now your downfall...
Life..
Where will she start from?

What do you mean by this for Pete's sake. Why exactly do you claim you need to depend on others for your own progress?

Government need to make DNA test cheap. Honestly many men will discover that they are fathering bastards. 🙁

If a government sponsored solution is what we want, then I urge it also be used in identifying the fathers of all the other children out there roaming without support. Such a data bank will go a long way in ensuring their fathers are identified and forced to pay up as far as child support, etc. Society needs being doing something about the problem of deadbeat fathers and this is a good start.

Why Nigeria no suppose learn to eat everything like China abeg! Imagine how many people will be able to raise themselves out of poverty if they ran even mini snake , cockroach, rat, mouse, pigeon, etc., farms?

○ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

1. How exactly does one go about putting on this full armor of God? If we each put a different set of this armor, would we all be said to be wearing the one and same full armor of God — if there are a million copies are they the same armor of God?

1Sharon:
○ Exactly so why is the mum challenging their step dad's decision? If she undermines him in front of the kids, it's even worse because they too will do the same thing to him. And I'm certain that's what happened. When he was providing for the kids that aren't his, she didn't say anything. Nonsense.

1. That is why I had asked what the biological mothers are doing in those cases.

tctrills:
○ Anytime you are tempted to commit a sin, that's a spiritual attack. That is why you are taught to put on the armor of God. The devil's most successful weapon is sin and temptation.

1. How exactly does one go about putting this armor of God, and how many copies of this armor are out there?

■ Starting in Isaiah 59, the prophet Isaiah informed us that the one who is in fact adorned with the full of armor of God is the Lord, the Redeemer, Himself.

15 Loyalty is gone, and people who try to do good are robbed. The Lord looked and saw there was no justice. He did not like what he saw.
16 He did not see anyone speak up for the people. He was shocked to see that no one stood up for them. So with his own power, he saved them. His desire to do what is right gave him strength.
17 He put on the armor of goodness, the helmet of salvation, the uniform of punishment, and the coat of strong love.
18 He will give his enemies the punishment they deserve. They will feel his anger. He will punish all his enemies. People along the coast will get the punishment they deserve.
19 People from the west to the east will fear the Lord and respect his Glory. He will come quickly, like a fast-flowing river driven by a wind from the Lord.
20 Then a redeemer will come to Zion to save the people of Jacob who have turned away from sin.
21“ And as for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord: “My Spirit that is upon you, and my words that I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouth of your offspring, or out of the mouth of your children's offspring,” says the Lord, “from this time forth and forevermore.” - Isaiah 59 vs 15 - 18

The Lord, our Redeemer, is the one who wears the
○ Helmet of salvation
○ The breastplate of righteousness
○ The Sword of Spirit
○ The Uniform of Punishment
○ The Coat of Strong Love
■ In Isaiah 52, Isaiah further informed us that the Redeemer wears
○ the shoes of Peace.

5 Now therefore what have I here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Their rulers wail,” declares the Lord, “and continually all the day my name is despised.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here I am.”
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” - Isaiah 52 vs 5 - 7

■ In Isaiah 11, the prophet also informed us that the Lord, the King, is the one who is clad with the
○ Belt of Truth

1. A small tree[a] will begin to grow from the stump of Jesse. That branch will grow from Jesse’s roots.
[b]2 The Lord’s Spirit will always be with that new king to give him wisdom, understanding, guidance, and power. The Spirit will help him know and respect the Lord.
3 He will find joy in obeying the Lord. This king will not judge people by the way things look. He will not judge by listening to rumors.
4-5 He will judge the poor fairly and honestly. He will be fair when he decides what to do for the poor of the land. If he decides people should be beaten, he will give the command, and they will be beaten. If he decides people must die, he will give the command, and those evil people will be killed. Goodness(Righteousness) and fairness will be like a belt he wears around his waist. - Isaiah 11 vs 1 - 5

■ And in Psalm 91, we are instructed by David to make the Lord our refuge and our fortress for it is in fact His faithfulness — not ours — that is our shield and buckler
○ Shield of Faith

1. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.- Psalm 91 vs 1 - 8

The one who in fact does the fighting against the enemy on our behalf and wins all the time, meaning we have no battles to fight so long as we are under the Lord's refuge and fortress.

What all this means is that one cannot literally put on the armor of God as people like most in the religion of Christianity like to pretend a possibility. So, how does one then go about getting the armor to be on his side of things? Well, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer Himself, said in John 15 that He will abide in those who abide in Him.

5 “I am the vine, and you are the branches. If you stay joined to me, and I to you, you will produce plenty of fruit. But separated from me you won’t be able to do anything.
6 If you don’t stay joined to me, you will be like a branch that has been thrown out and has dried up. All the dead branches like that are gathered up, thrown into the fire and burned.
7 Stay joined together with me, and follow my teachings. If you do this, you can ask for anything you want, and it will be given to you.
8 Show that you are my followers by producing much fruit. This will bring honor[c] to my Father. - John 15 vs 5 - 8

To put on the armor of God means to get on the good side of the one who is in fact clad in the full armor of God, Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ said t do that is to love Him

15 “If you love me, you will do what I command.
16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper[a] to be with you forever.
17 The Helper is the Spirit of truth. The people of the world cannot accept him, because they don’t see him or know him. But you know him. He lives with you, and he will be in you.
18 “I will not leave you all alone like orphans. I will come back to you.
19 In a very short time the people in the world will not see me anymore. But you will see me. You will live because I live.
20 On that day you will know that I am in the Father. You will know that you are in me and I am in you.
21 Those who really love me are the ones who not only know my commands but also obey them. My Father will love such people, and I will love them. I will make myself known to them.” - John 14 vs 15 - 21

○ Put on the whole armor of God:

What makes you believe that you are in fact capable of girding yourself with God's armor, to begin with? What is it about your person that makes you think or believe you qualify to dorn that which is called the armor of God?

1Sharon:
○ It is not for them to like. What's your point?

1. Even biological kids have to be conditioned/trained to understand chores as part of their responsibilities in the home. No kid comes preprogrammed. So, there needs to be an adult to first handle that aspect before kids see it as a necessity rather than something they need to fight.

1Sharon:
○Defend themselves from what? Being sent on errands? Do biological parents not send their kids on errands?

1. You say that as if all kids like being sent on errands.

Supremos:
A Nigerian US-based woman has returned home only to meet an uncompleted building despite the huge amount of funds sent to her brother to complete the house. In the video that has since gone viral, the lady could be seen weeping bitterly at the discovery of the uncompleted house. She said she had been in America for over 40 years, working on different jobs and sending her paycheck to her brother, Obinna to help build a house for her in Nigeria. The woman recounted how she had always helped Obinna and his family only to be repaid with disappointment that leaves her with nothing to fall back on.

Sad story indeed!

1Sharon:
○If they're taking shelter and money from their step dad, they shouldn't complain when he wants to send then on errands. He has taken them as his kids, and that's what father's do.

1. Ordinarily, it should be that way but kids need to be taught these things, not expected to figure it out for themselves.

1Sharon:
■ I don't. Situations like this are common in the US/UK. If the step dad tries to reprimand or discipline them, they tell him he's not their dad. But when he wants to provide for them, they don't say that.

1. Na the same everywhere. Children will always feel they need to defend themselves when dad and mom aren't both available to do that in their stead.

Foodqueen:
■ My cousin did same thing for years. They later got married but he never liked nor loved her. He frustrated her till she died.

Yah!

So, this story was about YUl Edochie?

officialwdhtv:
○ Take your children to their father or else - Man tells his wife who had other kids before he met her and married her. According to the lady, her husband knew about the children before he agreed to marry her.The man is saying he cannot be taking care of his own kids with her and also the other kids from the other man.

1. Na the children caught between all of this I pity pass.

SKIBiNSKI:
Yes, it could,Possible, do you think the American immigrations would easily buy this marriage when he goes on the apply for visa or green card?

If they both have an authentic story to tell, of course!

Kongaone:
Now this lady (now 29) and still single is accusing my guy of not making much efforts to look for her while he was single. Said she regretted her past actions and has completely changed and felt she was the one married to him. She even said she can accept to be his second wife or his baby mama and won't marry any guy who is not like my guy (in terms of character, emotion and ofcourse money). My guy has come to me for advise, pls if you are him what will you do? Matured minds pls.

Come for advise or to gloat?

Look, common sense plenty for this life to be had. As a matter of fact, the majority will live and die without directly accessing any of it. So, tell your friend to start there. As for you wey carry your friend's story life for head, you no get your own life to focus on?

akpunda86:
Is it possible getting a second wife that treats my first kids as her own,I'm scared. Im opening a trust fund for my kids plus the rent from the house can take kia of the school fees incase of Demise. My lovely wife just strayed ,changed till my family supported me to divorce her. I just planted enuff cameras 2 watch my kids as my new nanny takes over but still ponder how can a mother abadon her kids for a federal govt job offer dat looks like scam

Your question makes no sense given that all women aren't the same, same way all men aren't the same. It all depends on the woman you land yourself and your kids with. So, rather than come here asking us, why not consider whether it is not better for you to remain alone caring for your kids with these fears you obviously harbor towards women at this point in time?

SKIBiNSKI:
I agree, so in that case it COULD NOT have being 2 consenting adults, it MAY have being made to appear as 2 consenting adults. Right?

Or it could just be two consenting adults as it is made to seem!

SKIBiNSKI:
Yes! by that i also meant that she MAY have being coerced, manipulated into consenting. You think it is not possible that she MAY have being manipulated or coerced? How normal or ussual is it for a 70 years old white grandmother to get married to an african man who is in his late 20s? They whole thing appears shambolic from the get go.

It is possible that she is being scammed and there is a possibility that she isn't. So?

SKIBiNSKI:
how could i have concluded when i inserted the word COULD? What does the word could mean? You highlighted the word without knowing the meaning.

This is your own post

SKIBiNSKI:
Only one person consented to this sham marriage, the man, the old woman could not have being in the right state of mind to consent, she could have dementia or coerced, manipulated into consenting

No be you talk that part?

omohayek:
■ As consenting adults they are free to do as they like, but that doesn't mean they have a right to be free from criticism afterwards. Unless this young man has some sort of bizarre granny fetish, all I see here is self-loathing combined with desperation.
■ To marry for permanent residency in a western country is one thing, but why does it have to be to a woman who looks old enough to be his grandmother? Were there really no other candidates he could find? Why couldn't he pull the usual African desperado act by finding some fat, lower-class white woman to tie himself to? Even that would be less cringe-inducing than this frankly disgusting sight.

1.

2. You give am other candidates? No be the one wey you find you go use?

SKIBiNSKI:
Only one person consented to this sham marriage, the man, the old woman could not have being in the right state of mind to consent, she could have dementia or coerced, manipulated into consenting

You concluded that she is not in her right mind on a could?

Jackanda1:
■ If one is truely born again and maybe because of the storms of life and difficulties, they become so depressed and commit suicide, i don't believe they would go to hell.
■ God doesn't punish people for been weak and overcome by difficulties.

1. There is no such thing as truly born-again and not go to hell because in order to end up in Hell at the end, you must first be born-again.

2. Please stop hiding these lies behind the name of God. According to the Gospel, Hellfire is a place where all the unrighteous born-agains end up at the end.

■ It's not alright and that's what I did for the last 5 yrs of my life I can't take it anymore. Thanks though for support

1. You created this thread to obtain answers you still don't have after 5 years, right? So answer the question. What evidence do you have that reveals to you that you are in deed born-again. And I am not asking of the religious rituals you engage in as those mean absolutely nothing where God is concerned. I am asking you to state the truth of your situation as one who says he is born-again.

bolaji332:
■ Even a virgin turns to prostitutes' when her husband has nothing to give. i don't understand married women this days, especially those ones that are working, they are the bad ass ladies.

1. You don't answer the question you responded to. Why do you immediately think in terms of setting a limit on the desires of women when there are no such limits placed on men?

■ Whatever you think is your opinion.
■ Maybe you can expirence what I am going through then you will see if you can still talk like this

1. I am not thinking anything but simply telling you what ought to be if you truly love as you say you do. Jesus Christ Himself said those who love Him are those who continue to submit and obey His teachings and commandments - John 14 vs 15 - 23 & John 15 vs 9 - 11. You are asking if God would understand if you decided to end it instead. Not much thinking needed here.

2. As for sickness, you make a terrible mistake when you assume you are alone in it or that no one has ever been where you are right now, without evidence.

What is the evidence that you have that you are born-again?
