Gabriel459: The Holy Door symbolizes a passage to a deeper relationship with God, offering an opportunity for spiritual renewal. It represents Christ, who is the "door" to salvation, and its opening signifies the beginning of a Jubilee Year, a time for the faithful to seek reconciliation, forgiveness, and spiritual transformation.
Key Aspects:
Jubilee Year: A Holy Year or Jubilee occurs every 25 years, though extraordinary Jubilee Years can be declared by the pope (such as the 2015–2016 Jubilee of Mercy). Indulgence: Pilgrims who pass through the Holy Door during a Jubilee Year can receive a plenary indulgence, which is a remission of the temporal punishment for sin. Ritual: The door is typically sealed at the beginning of the period and opened by the pope or a designated bishop. Pilgrims then enter, often in procession, as a sign of penance and renewal. Significance: The Holy Door is more than a physical entry; it is a spiritual symbol of entering into a closer relationship with God, repenting of sin, and seeking the grace of a fresh start. The practice is rooted in the tradition of the Church’s emphasis on pilgrimage, penance, and the sacraments, offering a tangible way for the faithful to experience God’s mercy and grace.
How am average Nairalander wey ignorance don infest wan take understand this beautiful write up The acceptance of laziness of the mind I why Nigeria will continue to produce charlatans in places of leadership.
I believe Putin is behind this. He has retired Assad because he's not a wartime leader & ushered in a strong leader for Syria that can match up the other bloodthirsty regimes in the region.
Putin is a strategist
This one is ignorant on global politics and trends. Instead of you learning, you just jumped from phase 1 to being a conspiracy theorist.
Another way woman emancipation was interpreted was to subdue male gender. And they are winning the war from all fronts... Making men effeminate(gayism and trans nonsense), killing men straight up like this bastard up there in Colombia... Very soon a the world will be feminine that's why they tell u the future is female .. to perfect the earthly reign of LUCIFER who came into the world through EVE.
Who would add fresh fish to soup without first seasoning and partially cooking it? The properly cooked fish not only tastes sweeter and better but also reduces the strong odor associated with fresh fish.
If I were to visit your home and witness you adding uncooked, fresh fish directly to your soup, I would immediately infer that you lack culinary expertise and possibly maintain questionable hygiene standards and would never eat that rubbish.
Gistmedia10: In a heartwarming video that has taken social media by storm, a Nigerian man celebrated his wife’s loyalty and love in grand style this Christmas. The emotional moment was captured in a video shared by the man himself, where he called his wife and kids outside to "see something."
To her surprise, she was greeted by a stunning white GLK Benz adorned with a red ribbon, symbolizing the ultimate Christmas gift. The moment became even more special as he handed her a bouquet of roses, praising her for being a loyal partner, a pillar of support, and a wonderful mother to their children.
The ecstatic wife, overwhelmed with joy, couldn’t contain her emotions as she admired her new luxury car. The kids joined in the celebration, making the scene a picture-perfect family moment.
Netizens were quick to react to the video, with many hailing the man for his thoughtful gesture and using it as a testament to the rewards of having or being a good spouse. Comments ranged from "Good women deserve everything and more!"
This is for the modern females who think they are wiser than nature. Before you compare and castigate another man, read again the term "LOYAL" is loud there. LOYAL

abdulhakim3: My junior sis who recently got married started behaving strangely the first night. As days goes by her problem became worse, she grew lean does not want to talk. She is most of the time stiff staring at one place. Many alfas were brought in to perform exorcism but the problem still persist. She was also sent to the hospital but nothing was found.
Not until my father contacted one of his powerful old time friends. This man came recited some words and order the spirits to go bring wherever the charm is. My people it was like movie, out of nowhere the charms started falling to the ground. My parents and I were all shocked and dumbfounded.
The old time friend be like daddy GOs and pastors he deceived you people.

Merry100: I advise you to strive for your own financial independence as a woman. Even if you plan to marry a wealthy man, you may still face several disadvantages, as a man can be wealthy yet uncaring and stingy.
Here are a few steps to take:
1. Avoid all forms of distractions during your youth; success should be your only goal. In fact, don't start dating until you are twenty-four or twenty-five, unless you achieve success before then.
2. Either remain celibate or use very effective contraceptives to avoid pregnancy. No matter what you do, try as much as possible to prevent unplanned pregnancies.
3. Don’t allow anyone to pressure you; wait until you are established and successful enough to get married.
Here are a few disadvantages of rushing into marriage as a woman:
1. While you should be comfortably managing your responsibilities, you will end up viewing them as burdens.
2. Your children will not receive the best care.
3. Your husband might perceive you as a burden.
I hope number 2 doesn't insinuate "terminate " pregnancy?
DrDoc: Why dont you use this money to build wealth here ? How you people jump on this travel train can be very very unbelieveable. 10M will set up an irrigated Soya Beans farm that will give atleast 80 M in eight months. Nigerians smh
Then when you go to the farm to harvest the 80m after eight months a rag tag bandit will kidnap you, demand for N100m , collect it then KILL YOU! and the f"cking police does nothing about it.
Now you should know why people need to leave this country
Omokri is a very big idiot! But sorry, the Idiot is correct about this. Her statement is Yahoo... Pentecostal business empire is driven by tithe. Omokri is pinching a very sensitive nerve. They will come after him.
jesusjnr2020: Was David Abioye Spiritual Prowess Being Stifiled Under Oyedepo All These Years?
Despite hearing the name David Abioye for several decades, (which wasn't unusual being the second in command to David Oyedepo founder and GO of winners chapel), it was only recently after his forced retirement from the church, that I got to know what he looked like and also what he sounded like, and I must confess that in the few times I have heard him speaking, I have already been impressed with his level of spiritual depth and understanding.
It's profoundly strange that this was someone that was serving under David Oyedepo for so many years, yet I have never felt the same way about David Oyedepo despite hearing him preach countless times, including when I was still a member of CGM, and attended several annual conventions when he was invited as a guest speaker.
Even while I was yet a sinner and wasn't as spiritually discerning as I am now, but could still discern spiritually deep preaching and teachings from those which were shallow, I have never been impressed with Oyedepo's preaching or teaching, how much more after I have not only got saved but also born-again and begun to walk at the highest level of spiritual walk where it was all about God?
Yet I heard David Abioye speaking only a few occasions and was wondering if he was really the same person that was with Oyedepo all these years or if it was someone else.
It was indeed baffling and made me wonder if David Abioye's spiritual prowess and impact wasn't stifled all these years, and if it wouldn't have been much more beneficiary to God's Kingdom had he parted ways with the church much earlier, especially considering the way his loyalty and service to Oyedepo was being rewarded with retirement when he still had so much more to offer in the work of the kingdom.
He also appears to be thinking along these lines considering that he has already launched his own ministry shortly afterwards, so could it a case of waiting too long before doing the needful?
It's better late than never though, at least the world can finally get to hear and partake of the spiritual riches that David Abioye has got to offer without any more hinges.
1. You are still a sinner who needs God's mercy. No one is righteous.
2. You just wrote this to tell us you will soon join his man made church.
3. Someone will wake up from his new church after some years and also claim God's calling.
BlindAngel: Good evening Nairalanders, few months ago I posted here regarding how my wife forced me into marriage that I wasn't in anyway ready for because she got pregnant. I posted about the regret I'm still battling until date, because the love isn't there from my own end and I'm also not in anyway attracted to her physically. I have told her severally that I want to option out of the marriage and not doing again but until date she has refused to let me go.
Back to the main point, my wife lost her dad this morning. Her deceased dad has two wife's and several concubines that gave birth to lots of children, my wife doesn't know some of her half brothers and sisters.
So I went to their family house this morning to console them. The eldest son of the family (her half brother) told me and another in law that we'd be the one to pay for mortuary expenses and casket, and when the burial is getting closer they'd give us a list of things to buy and we'd both bring one goats each.
To be brutally honest I wasn't mad because of this latest expense, I got furious immediately and right on the spot because of the pressure my wife pressured me into getting married to her, by now I'd have been totally free of these unnecessary expenses. More than 19 of her sisters, both biological and half sisters that has given birth, no single expense was listed for their man that they got pregnant for and has a child for. But I and the other in law that paid dowry are the one going through these unnecessary expenses.
So immediately he told me about everything, I charged at my wife right on the spot, right in front of her mom, her brothers, her sisters and some of her friends that came for condolence visit. I got so furious and started shouting at the top of my voice, I reminded her how she forced me into marriage that I'm not in anyway prepared and ready for, both physically, psychologically, emotionally, financially. (I have been reminding her regarding this almost on a daily basis and whenever we are quarreling.
I reminded her how she threatened me with suicide and our of fear of the unknown I wasted almost 4m in getting married to her. I told her that I'd have been free of these expenses if not for her pressure.
Immediately she burst into tears, and started crying endlessly.
Her mom and sisters started yelling at me and I yelled back at all of them. They told me I met her a Virgin and now she's no longer good for me (truly, the whole family thought that I was the one that took her virginity) My wife and I agreed to keep it a secret, but the constant remainder from her mom and sisters made me let the cat out of the bag, I told them that I didn't met her a Virgin that she has already started having sex when I met her, they didn't believe me but with my tone, I know they'd.
I also made mentioned that I'm not buying any goat or paying for mortuary or taking any list from them. That it's their dad and they should take care of every responsibilities, after all he has uncountable children, why putting some of the expense on me? I walked away, and switched off my phone until now that I'm just putting it on.
I know that I acted wrongly and allowed my anger to get the best part of me. But I was furious because no single bill went to her sister's baby father's, absolutely nothing was listed for them. I got furious because these expenses won't be on me right now if not for her pressuring me into marriage that I want ready for. I was furious because I and the other in law that they billed became the scape goat by doing the right thing by getting married and not leaving theirs daughter In ruins, where as those that got their daughter pregnant without getting married to them were totally free from these unnecessary bills. I'm in so much pains and regret right now.
My brother u dealt the shit the way it should be done... The economy is currently tough. Takes a tough man to say things the way the are . You have done that. Africans should learn that burial and most of these social ceremonies don't add much value to anything than drain funds.
