Jonathan Jonathan should set up a committee 2 look into it.

Changing d names of towns won't ameliorate living conditions there, so whats the essence??

The same chinese that treat africans like apes? Will they include any of our local languages in their curriculum? Why do we demean ourselves by treating other races like gods?

idowuswap: Hey make any igbo idiot no intervene bcuz 2 of them na yoruba boyz tham use our mothers tongue so sing.even na all tribe they use yoruba sing.thnk God

U just couldn't hesitate 2 show ur stupidity, could u?

I don't really see the essence of this topic because this will create an avenue for religious bigots to say their balderdash. However, the new convert should simply pray to God to be led by His spirit, to the right church that truly teaches what's in the bible.

Flygerian.:
Answer the call first to know why u'r being called even if the persons calls 10times. U haven't picked the call yet and already assuming the person has nothing important to say?

Seconded

dattaswami:

You can thank God for providing the food. However you should not ask anything from Him.

Do not ask any thing from God which is either related to present or future. When you ask some thing in present or some thing in the future, it clearly means that you are reminding Him about the corresponding reaction that is to be immediately implemented in the need. This indirectly means that God is not alert as you are. This is insulting God. Due to such sin the requirement is not answered. If you are asking to protect yourself or somebody else, it indirectly means that He is not aware of the things to be done due to the irresponsibility and this also indicates that He is not as kind as yourself.

It means that God has potency to help but not kind enough to render the help. On contrary, it also means that you lack unfortunately the potency. It means if you fortunately have the potency you could have immediately responded and helped. Therefore, when ever you ask for anything it clearly means indirectly that God has some type of defect, which does not exist in your case. When you ask Him to fulfill the desire it looks as if that your desire is constitutionally justified. But God is not positively reacting due to either lack of positive response immediately or due to lack of knowledge of the constitution or due to lack of kindness to help the needy. All these points are very very subtle. But God is the most subtle and therefore, the knowledge of this analysis will certainly restrict you from asking any fulfillment of your desire.

Never bring present and future before God. Confine to the past always before God. Look back at your past life. Hundreds of incidents are there where you were helped by God. Even if you dispose some incidents through the incidental probability of success or through the efficiency of your efforts, certainly there are plenty of instances in which the help from God is clearly evident. At least remember those few incidents and express your gratefulness along praise to God for His kind help that was already done. The word Krutajnata means remembering the past help. Kruta means the past help done. Jna means identifying it by analysis. If you confine to praying the Lord and thanking Him always about the past helps from Him, the Lord will be immensely pleased. Then the present and future are spontaneously taken care of by the God. But do not adopt this technique with a mind that you will be helped by God in the present and in the future by following this procedure!

You should really follow this path and you should really forget the present and the future. When large number of people came to hear the message from Jesus, they were hungry by the noon. This point was brought to the notice of Jesus. He never asked God to provide food for those hungry people who came to hear God’s word. Had He asked for that, He would have insulted God. God knows His responsibility very well towards the devotees who came there to hear about Him. God has the power to fulfill His responsibility even in the last fraction of second. Had Jesus told God to bless the devotees with food, it clearly means that God is not as kind as Jesus. Jesus never asked for any thing. He came to know that there were four breads. He took them and showed to sky. He thanked God for providing those four pieces of bread.

Immediately the present was responded and the four breads became four thousand breads. This application of analysis is limited to Nivrutti only. You should not extend this to Pravrutti. When you are hungry you have to beg the other souls because they are not omniscient to know that you are hungry. Pravrutti and Nivrutti should never be mixed.

OMG, no need for this prolix. Its simple, pray to show ur gratitude 2 God for providing food for u 2 eat.

ndu_chucks: Can you people stick with issues rather than personalities and anonymous screen names? I'd appreciate it immensely if you'd stop trying to pidgeon hole me into belonging to one tribe or the other. What objections do you have to what I've posted and why do you not see the benefit of the said designated "Herding Zone", "Fulani Reserves", "Nomadic Xing", or whatever you prefer to call the, soon to be created, federally reserved territory?

Its quite simple. They are not Nigerians. As such they have no right whatsoever to request for a land when they are not natural citizens of that Nation.

I see the reason for their complaint as a façade. I smell something fishy here. These so called fulani peeps could be seeking an avenue to spread the menace of Boko Haram, whom i'm quite sure they are in affiliation with. FG had better not grant their request or else the whole nation would experience widespread carnage.

virgin_vampire: wat a pity ur wedding cake will be made with YAM

Lmao, my ribs wan break oo

@johndoe 100. I won't bother throwing tantrums @ u. Dat would be demeaning. If ur done displaying ur priapic nature, my question was, Did u by any chance attend primary school? However frm wat u just displayed, i can deduce dat u didn't.

mrrock: @leobreezy.
''American boy'' was used figuratively NOT literally. Don't quote anything I write if you have challenges with English.

Neither did i quote it literally. U can see the quote (" " symbol can't u? If d op's post perplexes u then don't comment, instead of being irrationally judgemental.

mrrock: @post.
You probably think once you leave that guy you would land your ''American boy''. Let me tell you. If you leave the guy you would find it difficult to get another man half good. By the time you realize what you've done to yourself you would shout; ''had I known'' and you will blame satan for your bad luck.

Did she say she wants an "American Boy"? And what gives u d inklin that she won't find someone better? Why are some people so opprobrious??

pearl~hapi:
why are you scared of typing the word in full?fear fear btw you don't drink garri bah?

Since it has become a vulgar word 2 d moderators, i have 2 block it. Though i think Seun and co. are being puerile about d whole thing. But i drink garri sha, d taste is exceptionally euphoric with groundnut and milk.

johnny handsom:

and you have never drank garri before?

Go back and read what i quoted. Did i in anyway infer dat i don't drink garri?? You lack acumen.

Johndoe100: All I see on this thread is hate. Well if you hate us that much, why not leave our oyel alone? Or are you too much of thieves and parasites?

Forgive me, i'm just curious. Did you by any chance attend primary school?

Some southerners adulate GEJ stupidly, out of fear dat power will be relinquished back into d hands of d other major ethnic groups. We shouldn't be concerned about what region he hails frm bt rather how competent and sedulous he is. I blame Lord Lugard sha, he caused all this ethnic bigotry by amalgamating people with completely diffrnt lifestyles and instituting regionalism.
P.S. I'm from delta, so don't think this post is prejudiced.

pearl~hapi:
oya nau e don do•d guy could just be somewhere swallowing correct akpu while you are here gossiping him!amebor

lmao. He can drink g**ri sef!

pweeryambre: (1)he grew up from the village and was trained by his grandmother(very old woman) although he has been displaying some annoying local champion attitude from the begining,

(2)He wil not take proper medication to cure his sickness. he wil go down to village to hav one native doctor beat out wat dey call pin from his body.

(3)Always chewin garlik and all sorts of local herb which leaves his mouth smellin funny all d time.


(4)Dosent beliv in romance anymore , our sex life has bcome so rigid, he just want to f**k without any form of 4play. Says romance is for d white man.


(5)He prefers d company of very old piple or very small boys dat just left sec skul and says his mates dosent know wat dey r doing,,,


(6)the other day we visited a married couple friends of ours and dey served us springles potatotoe snack and he just flong the thin away saying dat its food for pigeons

(7)he says he wants to park and go and live in the village dat i shuld join him.

This guy will change?? You're kidding me!

pearl~hapi:
I just the movies as an example•i still hold on to the fact dat the young man can change

Dats ur biz. To me, someone who thinks romance is exclusively for d west, should marry a tree instead. P.S He ain't gon' change one bit.

ferhyntorlah:

It's easier said than done. What if he isn't willing to be changed? If she can tolerate him no wahala but if she can't, she can always leave atleast they are not married yet.

Life is too short and we only get to live it once. Poster, do whatever makes you happy.

Seconded

pearl~hapi:
love conquers all,word!

Are u a teenager or an adult?

pearl~hapi:
why don't you believe in this word“change”even in movies you see village dudes who their spouse made a meaning out of their lives•it happens everyday and everywhere,how do I explain this to this boy?

Are u comparing real life with fictional movies?? Besides, those village guys in d movies ADMIRE living in d city and all that. This guy is ANTIPATHETIC to modern lifestyle don't u get it?? Jeez!!

pearl~hapi:
thank God I gave an instance with my bestfriend so that should show that no one is above change and ehen before I forget,my friend drives one of the cutest cars we have in nigeria÷courtesy of the supposed village boy with lots of other things the guy has really done for her•this isn't a story I heard or was told,I SAW it happen so op just dnt abandone the guy abeg someday you would be proud of him

We all possess diffrnt xters. D fact dat he was amenable doesn't mean all village guys are.

pearl~hapi:
me naïve?well I hear you btw my advice is to Op and not people who think they already know everything and are perfect

I'm nt trying 2 display a facade of perfectionism, i'm being logical and rational. D guy won't change. He's primitive 2 his finger nails.

sexkillz: The proverb is baseless in this case. No one is asking him, or expecting him to change overnight. Change is gradual, and her encouragement will accelerate that change. They have been together for 3 years and she should have started earlier than now. All hope is not lost since it is obvious she loves him and she likes that "good heart" of his. . . If she puts her mind to it, she can change him, although not completely.

There are exceptions to every rule.

Change him 2 become what?? She said he's local and frm her narration its obvious. Why are u guys being so quixotic?? What if he's not willing 2 change? And who said in dat 3 year period she hasn't attempted 2 change him? U can't remove a leopard's spots! If dis guy went 2 a university and the collegiate life of 4 years didn't change him, how do u think he will change? Be logical.

pearl~hapi:
you obviously do not know a tin about love!you that knows how to woo a gal with cars and flowers,doooh you try

Ur still naive, soon u'll understand. And by d way, i never said u have 2 give a girl a car 4 her 2 date u. My point is, didn't d op notice his primitive personae b4 she began dating him?? Or did he pretend 2 be 21st century?

pearl~hapi:
and when did age become a factor for change?the guy needs help and the only gal that can help him is the woman in he's life.whatever happened to being there for the one you love huhn,or would you feel if your gf abandons you simply becos you av a foul attitude•my dear like I said earlier,if my gf could change her bf then op should do same[no one can ever outgrown changes]

Whether he's 29 or 92, d guy is fulsomely archaic frm op's discription + he also seems 2 be antipathetic 2 modern lifestyle, so how do u expect him 2 change?? For christs' sake, he thinks romance is for d west. Well we are all entitled our opinions. As for me, i believe this guy can never have a diffrnt orientation apart frm his present ideology.

sexkillz: A lion is not a Man. You cannot compare a man's intelligence and emotions to a lion's. . .

Try again.

FYI dats a proverb, i wasn't in anyway comparing humans 2 animals. My point is, its obvious dis guy is antipathetic to modern lifestyle. Do u really expect him 2 change overnight? Don't be sentimental, be realistic.

shymexx:

I don't know if I can/could - but one thing I will/would never do is lead people on, or ridicule them for staying true to their roots... She has been with him for 3 years - then suddenly woke up one morning and discovered that ol'boy is too 'archaic' GTFOH!! She probably slept on the wrong side of her bed yesterday night..

U've got a point. D girl has herself 2 blame for falling in love with "Jedidiah". I mean, wat did he use to woo her, a goat and a bottle of palm wine? Gosh!!

pearl~hapi:
wats ur own?I said yes I can date him and all I wud simply do is make him change•is that something to pretend about?I didn't say it to mpress anybody naaaaa I said it cos yes I can so take it or leave it

U can take a lion to d city, but u can't take d jungle out of it. Do u really think a 29yr old guy, brought up from infancy in d village, can change and become 21st century?? Like i said, don't be quixotic.
