PoliticsRe: Jonathan Meets Rebel Governors On Sunday by Lightening: 4:41pm On Nov 21, 2013
Why President Goodluck is bothering about these self seeking chaps is because he is not as popular as should. Excellent performance silences opposition like nothing else. Go to states like Akwa Ibom, Enugu etc, opposition is dead owing to the grand exploits of the governors.
RomanceRe: Why Are Young Girls Rushing To Marry Lately? by Lightening: 4:14pm On Nov 21, 2013
byvan: People should just get married when they believe they ve found their soul mate, all these logic about being dependent or independent is just utter crap(non ll guarantee you a great marriage). You shouldn't condemn early marriage because you never had the opportunity to find love early.The youngest female professor when I was in school was just 38 and got married at 20 , do you still think she lacks dream?

A great dreamer knows how to conserve time.
Nne, you faculty complete. Help me tell all these emergency ladies' marriage advisers to look for a black goat in the daytime. Eventually, the burden arising from their illusions will be transferred to their innocent pastors.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do People Treat The Jehovah Witnesses Like A Plague by Lightening: 7:04am On Nov 21, 2013
TroGunn: You can discuss "divinity of Jesus", of course.

True, Jesus Christ is not God Almighty, according to the Bible anyway. Jesus himself said the Father (God Almighty) is above him and sent him and even directs him on what to say.

John 12:49 "I don't speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it".

Understanding that and following Jesus' wonderful example, which is basically focussing on doing his Father's will is important.

Matt 7:21 - “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Pls read John 1vs 1. There is no other name given whereby we might be saved (Acts 4v12). At the mention of that name every knee in heaven, on earth and under the earth bows.
Pls check.if they are in your own bible.These are deep.revelations that defies carnal argument.

kingoflag: When folks, like those in Anambra supporting the thieving Peter Obi and violation of human basic right each man's vote counting in a democratic setting are in the overwhelming minority.
Stop blaspheming Gov. Peter Obi. He is neither INEC nor has he been convicted of stealing as you alleged. Libel carries severe sentence in Nigeria. Do not abuse this anonymous forum because I know you dare not grant an open interview and spew this.

taharqa: What kind of USELESS law is that?? Apart from the fact that ONLY premediated murder should attract d Death penalty in my view, were you not alive when a former LGA boss got 6months for stealing around #1.5million? Now, a 'nobody' steals Recharge cards and he is sentenced to Death by hanging!!! Does that seem remotely fair to you? Cud there be a much greater INJUSTICE perpetuated by d Courts ('Temple of Justice'- how ironic) and d Laws it interprets? Shld we be this Sillly and HYPOCRITIC because of some laws??.... I know the Judge was interpreting a section of d law, but he shld either have used his discretion Or he shld have just excused himself from such glaring Injustice. But of course d fault here doesn't reali lie with d Judge in this case, it is d Society (all of us) and the various Govts (past and present) that is failing itself, Woefully in this respect.... I TOTALLY CONDEMN THIS JUDGEMENT WITH EVERY THING I CAN COMMAND
The local government chairman you cited and his likes looting public funds are guilty of breach of trust. The poor boy that popped s gun at an innocent woman and disposessed her of her hard earned properties is guilty of armed robbery. The two cases are a world apart. The size of the booty does not determine the severity of the sentence anywhere.

Booty butt chic: Like why do people treat the jehovah witnesses like a plaque whenever they come to people houses.like dis sunday and also last sunday too,I wuz at a freinds place(christians oo) and the jehovah witnesses came,before dey could even open deir mouth 2 say who dey were after greeting while stAndin at the entrance door,my freinds elder one just came and banged the door at their faces like Dafuq....is dis forreal...I wuz like wat wuz d reason, dey were like don't mind dem johr.... So Nlanders do u do it too,and if u do,wat makes avoid dem weneva dey come 2 your house


Happy sunday.
No longer listen to them. Most of the issues they argue so vigorously about cannot take anyone heaven. It is only their church dogma which includes denial of divinity of Jesus which to me is the foundation of the christian faith. What will then be the grounds for discussion?
Car TalkRe: Beware Of Catalyst Stealing Mechanics, Welders And Car Dealers!!!! by Lightening: 5:37pm On Nov 19, 2013
dsunmade: I heard that they use the metal contents of the catalytic converter to make local gunshot pellets. So, protect your catalytic converter well because those pellets may end up being used on those you know.

Most of our mechanics and panel beaters don't know the usefulness of the catalytic converter. A panel beater once suggested to me that if a catalytic converter is old, they open it up and stuff it with debris including wires. He also told me that the debris may eventually clog the catalytic converter and cause issues in the engine.

The cat of my car got stolen at Cotonou and had to be replaced by the Panel beater. The car makes a drone-like noise always. I wish I could get the OEM silencer including the Cat at a reasonable cost.
The first thing I tell a panel beater on entering his workshop for anything is not to tamper with my catalyst.
Some usually pick offence but the torpedo earlier fired always keep.them from mischief even if intended.

Fell victim once in Cotonou. Can't immagine my Camry 09 messed up by one lunatic
CrimeRe: Gunmen Demand For New Born Babies At Ekiti Hospital by Lightening: 7:00pm On Nov 18, 2013
COOLDUN: These apes that believe that their ancestor fell down from the sky with a broom and calabash will never wake up and face the realities of the 21st century. They are still living in the 1st century, while still claiming to be educated, I wonder how these people would have been, if they were not educated with a confiscated money from one section of the country.j

Why in this modern time someone is wasting the lives of innocent people in the name of money ritual? Who told them that money ritual is real? Though if a tribe’s existence is based on lie/fable stories, which all of the people believe to an extend that it is written in the history books , why won’t they believe it, even if they were told that their grandfathers were transformed from women to men.

They have changed from diverting innocent bus travelers in their cities to their evil forests to the robbing of newly born babies in the hospitals.

Now I can believe a testimony of One of the escaped victims of the evil forest ritualists wrote how he and co army officer in the bus with guns overpowered ritualists/agents and slaughtered them including their village partners in rituals who always pretend to be helpers to the lucky escaped victims; he said that he and the co army officer pretended to be asleep when they blew their powdered substance in the bus, and made sure that they were proved beyond reasonable doubt that they were ritualists, when they were about to enter into the Sagamu/Lagos express way evil forest, when the bus slowed down because of the bad road, the army officer blew off the driver’s head which made the bus to fell in a ditch, before the other ritualists could know it they have surrendered them with their guns, shooting them on their heads, and tortured the remaining who pointed at the other females patners in the bus that pretended to be victims too. While they were toturing them they started showing them their villagers co ritualists too.

The army guys said that if they took them to the authorities they would be freed by their high placed patronizers so they decided to waste the ones they caught and freed the genuine passengers in the bus and fled the scene too.

I can see that the bus travelers are wiser and well prepared nowadays, that is why they have resorted to invading the hospitals.

I believe that this has made them to change their method by invading the hospitals in their towns, as foolish gullible people they are. Why should a man kill his fellow human being for money ritual? And their people would be claiming that other section of the country is desperate for money?

I would advise other people to leave these clowns to continue killing/wasting their new generation by killing them for senseless reasons so that they will seize to exist very soon. Keep on killing yourselves and point your fingers at other people.

GBOMO GBOMO. CARRY GO.

Gbam. Inspite of the fact that all the mega churches are located in this region, yet negligible effect on morality. You see millions flocking to their programmes monthly. Where are all the ritual killers?

ibn akogun: Hope you have taken your correct dose of ogu brain disease. Let me school you in police matter 101. Hello ma'am, police commissioner are selected by the I.G without ethnic or religion leaning of the individual. Even the ebonyi guy can't lead a line in main market talkless of a Yoruba chairman of Onitsha south LGA woliwo. I don't see that happening till the angel blow the whistle to end the world.
What amount of stake do westerners have in the east to merit then any political position? That fashola appointed ibos in sensitive position in his government is a reflection of the enormous stakes they have in the different sectors of lagos state.

So you guys should reach out more and touch your host states more. Then it might become possible.

lorretta u: Yes I'm single
No I don't have fantasies (well except to win the billion dollar jackpot smiley )

As against your very 'wise' perception that I might be on the way to marital frustrations,I can tell you whole heartedly that you're wrong.I can ask many women who have raised responsible kids and the answer would still be that I can do it.
I don't need to go far to ask
I've my mom here as a perfect example.
Career mom.
Great kids
Happy home.
I could begin to count the number of women who I know have done it and I won't be done by tomorrow.
I have no fear for the future. Worry about yourself and your wife smiley
I'll be fine. Thanks.
You keep echoing my mother, my mother. Do you have a father? The signs of a little girl raised by a single mother or a divorcee is apparent. Pls go and ask her questions about life and stop contributing to issues you know nothing about.

bukatyne: Coogar,

Let me indulge you this once...

You are comparing a woman whose fiancée is a potential abuser to a man whose wife slapped him oncehuh

My post you dug out is actually a very wrong example to use as it is very self explanatory

Until you can dig up a post where I told a female poster to divorce or leave her home because her husband slapped her once, don't quote me again or describe my posts as hypocritic or with double standards.

Also ensure to include the posters I quoted and the OP

Thanks
Very poor face saver. Coogar rose up to your challenge and has succesdfully boxed you up. It pays to be consistent in life dealings. Pls go to bed.

lorretta u: if I ask you to give me one unarguable reason why women are inferior to men,you're going to come up with certified nonsense. So I won't bother.let me focus my words on people like dailynews who at least has a percieved reason for what he's saying.in your opinion,a real woman is the one who's only interested in an accomplished man who can pay her bills?
cheesy somebody(anybody) help this dude pls

Like I said I'm done with you,I didn't expect you to quote me again.if you do again,I'm gon ignore you. Thank you



@Dailynews,I hope you understand that money doesnt equate to success.
If so we'd be callling yahoo boys , drug dealers and high way robbers successful men.
Success has more to do with satisfaction and covered milestones than how much you've made.
So saying that a con man who has amassed billions by fraud is more successful than a Ph.d holder who's married to a medical doctor (and both of them share the family expenses) is wrong. Success isn't solely identified by money.
Loretta, I perceive you are a single lady with so much fantasies. Read through all your altercations. If this is not just online entertainment, you may be on a very fastlane to marital frustrations. Ask those ladies that successfully built their homes and raised responsible children if your philosophies are in the least tenable. Goodluck!

lalalefriday: cheesy cheesy cheesy

First to do no dey pain as they say.

Now OP listen to me. Physical abuse is a direct result of a lack of respect for the abused by the abuser.

Quite simply, your wife has zero respect for you.[color=#000099][/color]

And a relationship without mutual respect can NEVER work let alone a marriage.

Your marriage is already dead -What you need to figure out is if you want to show her pepper before you leave...or if you want to leave in an amicable and mature manner.

I personally would go for option A.



True talk. It is most abominable. But come to think of that, I hold any man responsible if the wife does not respect him. Usually in relationships there are always things to nip in the bud. Only Real men look out for such for instant surgery before it becomes cancer manifesting thus.

WHEN OBASANJO WAS PRESIDENT, HIS GREATEST CRITICS WERE YORUBAS, HE NEVER AW EYE TO EYE WITH TINUBU EVEN TILL DATE, THEY DISAGREE BASICALLY ON IDEOLOGY AND POLITICAL INFLUENCE AND NOTHING MORE!

ALL YOU PEOPLE FIGHT FOR IS MONEY, MONEY AND MONEY.....EVEN IN THE FACE OF GROSS CORRUPTION AND INEFFICIENCY ALL YOU CAN SEE IS WHO IS IGBO AND WHO IS NOT,I HAVE NEVER SEN A TRIBE SO BURIED IN PARANOIA LIKE THE IGBOS! EVEN BODE WENT TO JAIN IN YORUBA LAND ORCHESTRATED BY HIS FELLOW YORUBA MEN! THAT'S WHAT HONOR IS ALL OUT! SPEAKING AND STANDING WITH THE TRUTH REGARDLESS OF WHO IS INVOLVED!

THAT'S IS WHY NO IGBO MAN CAN NEVER BE NIGERIAN PRESIDENT, WHO WILL VOTE FOR YOU? THE YORUBAS YOU LOVE TO HATE OR THE HAUSA WHO CAN'T STAND YOUR BREATH?

NONSENSE! [/quote

See this frustrated crying baby. Which tribe has the most cases pending with EFCC but uses their crooked attorney skills supported with their tribalist judges to adjourn indefinitely to evade justice?

May be because your brother OBJ on death row was cleansed by the North and baptised president is giving you the illussion that Yoruba is of reckoning in Nigeria politics.

That udara fruit that you blind man stumbled on by chance, when you finish eating it, kindly stumble on another.

financially independent women can be sturbborn to their husbands.

they can have the '' wat do i need a man for?? '' syndrome

pls add more if u want, i no fit worry myself undecided undecided
Women financial independence and otherwise is the greatest incentive to rocky marriage and eventual divorce. Check the profile of all known divorcees.

We can advocate more of financial empowerment for women which does not equate to independence.

Christianity EtcRe: Things To Look For In A Christian Boyfriend/Girlfriend by Lightening: 8:49am On Mar 28, 2013
[quote author=Coldfeet]@Op great piece and don't mind those who say there's nothing as Christian boy/girlfriend relationship! A lot of people still fear and obey God! And also keep His temple Holy and un-defiled. Christian courtship is very possible.

If an abomination is not condemned, it indeed becomes a tradition.
There can never be anything as christian boy/girlfried relationship because it is an occasion of sin (and ultimately so) and nothing sinful is christian.
The tragedy of today's christians is that we want to take our full share of what the world has to offer and still want everybody to accredit us as true followers of christ just because we register their presence in a church.

Because it is a topical issue. However, i personally do not think that the magic lies in the name APC but rather in the party's ideology. So the All Progressive Congress can show their superiority by changing even to a name with an entirely different acronym and still deliver the sucker punch to the ruling party.
