Phyno ft Olamide.
Father Father ehhh
Father father ehhh

That song was one of my best then. But it is a song of prayer to God, being the Father, not a human father.

Who can tell me a song made exclusively for fathers, praising and thanking them for everything?

Pells1:
Your deadbeat father really did you bad, Come let me adopt you my child

You are a very kind person

Let me start with this short story.

On Christmas Eve I was almost brought to tears watching and observing somethings around me. There and then I made a shrug as if saying "I reject it".
I saw how men stayed out late through the evening, working in their shops and making calls to customers owing them. One told me how he had to go to the next town just to get Christmas clothes for his kids cos they were cheaper there. The way he jealously and carefully handled and prepared the clothes almost made me cry. The other man actually passed the night in his shop, working.

One told how his wife never appreciate his efforts, he said as soon as he's blessed he will remarry. Some men can't even go back home after work, they branch the bars to gather liver and morale first.

See, I have looked at the world around me, God has given me that eyes actually. Men are the most underrated, under appreciated, over looked, undervalued, uncredited, group under heaven. I watched a show on YouTube about a group of men and a group of women separated in an island and asked to survive for some time, separately.

Less than a week into their stay in the island the women almost got obliterated by nature and their ignorance and other weaknesses, while the men were thriving so much so that the women begged the men to be admitted into their side of the island. That is a tip of a world without the KINGS. The very SOUL of society and existence.

When last did you look at your father and say to him "thank you"? What about your big bro? Or your male teacher, mentor or uncle?
Every day we hear songs of praise about women and mothers, advocacy for girl child, but what about the real backbone and creators of our world? What about the very people that literally, willingly and even happily put their lives on the line so that the world we live in will be worth living in? I mean the very people that ushered us out of the caves and subdued and conquered the world we enjoy and run our mouths in today?

Before you ask why your father abandoned you first ask why? Nobody knows and nobody cares to ask him what he is going through. Nobody goes to the grave of his father and say "thank you".

I started out having deep admiration for the woman. But some years ago I looked at the men around me and ask "who's telling their story?". These people never cry, never go out to the world and complain, so when they finally react the world gather and call them names.

I am a man, I am proud to be a man, I salute all boys and men out there. You're doing well!! Remain proud and adamant.

Thank you and God bless you very!

Everybody is focused on Wike and the PDP in Rivers State but nobody cares about the injustice on the Labour Party in many Northern States. Many laugh and say Labour Party and Peter Obi are not popular in the North but do you know that their activities, posters and banners are very restricted and stiffled there? They can't even rent stadiums.

Look at how even an APC governor in the the South East is complaining of an outrageously plenty posters of his own Party in the State. But nobody is saying anything about the fact that Labour Party can't even organize in some Northern States. In Abuja APC/PDP posters and ads have become so plenty it's an eye sore even though these two parties are struggling in the FCT, but the more popular Party among the residents is nowhere to be found.

This is extreme, this is dirty, this is divisive and very wrong! Not even the so called media report this.

Let the Labour Party supporters put the Party's flags and emblem in their cars, let them preach the party in their workplace and in the Churches or Mosques, let them wear the Party's clothes and let them do good in the name of the party, cos the gang up against this innocent group is on another level.

That is a man with the true fear of God. His daughters will grow to be decent young women and the kind of men they bring will bring true joy to all.

Mindlog:
You don't "understand" my rationale, neither have you have a clue of what my anchors are.

You don mean it? Don't tell me I am wrong.

If true then that is a good decision. Just hearing APC or PDP is getting torturous.

Mindlog:
No be baby daddy and baby mamas trend don dey gain popularity in Nigeria.
Whether a child is born within or outside marriage, is irrelevant to me in my professional capacity. To me, a child's welfare comes first before the parents' marital status.

Let's not deceive ourselves, to truly care for a child is to give him a real standard home, I despise that "baby daddy/mama" phenomena. But I understand your rationale, you are a "sophisticated, liberal, new world, globalist, woke feminist". We are of a different world view.

Mindlog:
Wetin concern pride and my position?
Many Western Countries are not encouraging marriage but rather reproduction, having children outside the traditional concept of marriage is a non issue for them, as parents even though unmarried, there are expectations towards the children or Government gets involved by taking the child/children away from the birth family and get them to live under care.

Supporting Children born out of wedlock eh? Don't do that, you are a social scientist, you should know.

oteneaaron:
OK we are getting somewhere.
So thinking positive thoughts to see positive results in our life is wrong - according to you.
So please tell me, as a Christian, why did the Bible ask you to think only positive thoughts?
Can you kindly explain?
Thanks.

You see, these law of attraction has been so popular and incoporated into our Christian believes that we now think they are the same with what the Bible is saying. Read the verse you presented again.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable —if anything is excellent or praiseworthy —think about such things.

The other worldly belief system is just that, worldly. And it teachs you to aspire or think about absolutely anything you want or desire, that is not what the Bible says, but that is what modern Pastors preach. Prosperity Gospel => The Law of Attraction.

oteneaaron:
I asked first.
You said the Law of Attraction is bad.
I want to understand your definition of this law.
Is that too much to ask?

Okay.

The law of attraction is the New Thought spiritual belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person's life. The belief is based on the idea that people and their thoughts are made from "pure energy" and that like energy can attract like energy, thereby allowing people to improve their health, wealth, or personal relationships. There is no empirical scientific evidence supporting the law of attraction, and it is widely considered to be pseudoscience.

That is from Wikipedia.

oteneaaron:
Can you kindly define the Law of Attraction?

Can you? Pls help me out.

oteneaaron:
You still didn't answer my question.
What is wrong with the Law of Attraction?
Also, what does the Law of Attraction mean to you?

How deep do you want me to go here?

Prosperity Gospel is the same as the law of attraction, they are man made religion, I am a Bible believing Christian. These other doctrines are selfish and false rooted in other believes and religion.

U ha from north? I tinkz zo!! Northerner christian? U guyz need intervention of holy spirit not human being teaching! U guyz were the hrdest christian we ve in nigeria, my thy lord guard u and protect you guyz!

Amen bro. The love of God and neighbor is diming and growing cold, the love of the world and money seems to be taking over, sadly.

oga ecwa church is no longer that way!
they now preach prosperity like the new generation churches. they even collect offerings more than some of the new generation churches. they collect as much as 5 offerings in a service.
ecwa church pastors worship the vry rich members of the church quite unlike in the days of yore whn no matter how rich u r, the pastor will tell you your misdoings to your face.
i even wonder the last time you went to ecwa church.
even catholic, anglican, redeemed, deeperlife, coccin, nkst, they have all lost it. THE HOLY SPIRIT HAVE LEFT THE CONGREGATIONS.

You are right, sadly. But unlike these other ones there is still the spirit and true words of God being taught there.

oteneaaron:
What is wrong with the Law of Attraction?
Kindly enlighten me.

You see, there are some doctrines and popular believes of man that a Christian should not indulge in, Apostle Paul warned us about it. Yoga, L. of A., karma ideology etc. These stuffes as far as I know have there roots in Buddhism or Hinduism. They are not Christian. Thank you.
