Super eagles
Please go and learn how to score free kicks and corner kicks.
Also how to defend Corner kicks and free kicks.

That's what removes us from all world cups.

U raised a good point! We need a free kick specialist in that team if we must progress at the world cup. Since Jay Jay Okocha retired, we've never had a good replacement with such skill

obailala:
While you're still at it blabbing your nonsense, you can do well to just point out where the Anambra State Govt called it a vaccination exercise, better still, you should also point out where it was labelled 'forced' vaccination as you've ignorantly been vomitting. Gosh! How can humans just be so adamant in their daftness?... Anybody who tries to speak sense into your skull is automatically BMC to you?.. in your head it's all about politics of 'Us vs Them.'

Anambra state govt released a press statement clarifying that the rumour of military forced vaccination was a hoax created by mischief makers to cause fear and chaos; the govt also advised the military to suspend their free medical outreach for proper sensitization until the damage caused by mischief makers is cleared. But of course to some coconut heads, 'free medical outreach = forced vaccinations.' You even go ahead to cite the very same Anambra govt press statement which clarified it as a hoax as the source of your info.... And of course again, anyone that points your ignorance out to you is BMC. Tufia!

Don't mind people like him, their situation is so pathetic! This their 'them against us' mentality is unbecoming. They really, really & urgently need deradicallization & reorientation if not, I don't see the possibility of them uniting & playing clean politics to produce the president of this nation in the nearest future.

Joephat:
for Believing in What this military men r saying... before this year ends, you will receive a stray bullet n it will reach FP

this is our prayers on you n others

I laugh at your gullibility son! U don't have to result in such worthless prayer against a God's anointed except u're prepared to be the victim. I need to school you kid, God doesn't answer such prayers against your perceived 'enemy', rather, u only ended adding more sins to your account. Son, why not free your mind from hatred just because Jonathan (who is not even from SE) lost an election, u decide to hate everything about this government. It is a shame on your value system and also, the way you people run politics in that part of the country is pathetic.
I will advice u, based on the anointing I carry, to start a one day fasting & prayer for forgiveness to avert the cause you just laid on your head.

Joephat:
I said it that this boy running didn't see armies, he saw shakau himself..


This clearly shows that Nigerian soldiers had evil motives for actually embarking on monkeypox outreach.

thankGod, my Igbo ppl r not daft as Benue, afonja or the fulanis.


these children r rumor mugger.


For all the gullible afonjas who actually believed in what this soldiers said, you will die by there guns n they will deny being responsible before this year ends.

Amen

U just have to be told the truth, your level of reasoning is foolish. Showing us a picture of students running without those pursuing them shows your level of IQ. If u claim soldiers are carrying out vaccination exercise without at least a picture to proof showing them in schools doing this, u are not different from stark illiterates who take decisions based on hearsay.
Besides, monkey pox doesn't have a vaccine yet, so I wonder where the supposed army would have gotten the vaccine from. Common sense should have made u know that this is mere rumour from disgruntled elements of the society

Imagine the lip stretching. I can never try it.

Hmmm....I'm just imagining how it will look on u

These ethnic communities practice certain traditions that will shock you.

Africa is full of bizarre practices some of which are known, and many others that are unknown to the world.
Some of these strange customs still exist many years after civilization. These ethnic communities practice certain traditions that will shock you.

1. Stealing each other's wives - Niger
In the Wodaabe tribe of Niger in West Africa, men are known to steal each other's wives. The Wodaabe's first marriage is arranged by their parents in infancy and must be between cousins of the same lineage. However, at the yearly Gerewol Festival, Wodaabe men wear elaborate makeup and costumes and dance to impress the women – and hopefully steal a new wife.

If a man is able to steal away undetected (especially from a current husband who may not want to part with his wife), then they become socially recognized.

2. Spitting as a form of greeting - Massai tribe

The Massai tribe, found in Kenya and Tanzania, spit as a way of saying hello. While the English man would say hello, spitting is a way of greeting.

Asides that, when a baby is born, it is the custom of the men to spit on the newborn and refer to him as bad. They believe this would protect the baby from evil spirits. Maasai warriors also spit in their hands before shaking the hand of an elder. Furthermore, the Massai tribe is also famous for its drinking of fresh animal blood.

3. Festival of the dead- Malawi

The Chewa community is a Bantu tribe mostly found in Malawi.

During the burial ceremony of a tribe member, it is customary for the body of the deceased to be washed. The corpse is taken to a sacred place where the cleansing is done by slitting the throat and pouring water through the insides of the dead. The water is squeezed out of the body until it comes out clean. The water is then collected and used to prepare a meal for the whole community.

4. Bull jumping in Ethiopia
In Ethiopia young boys have to undergo some form of ritual to prove their manhood this involves a series of events.

A young boy has to strip naked, run, jump and land on the back of a bull. This is then followed by running across the backs of several bulls arranged in a straight and closely-knit herd pulled by the tail and horns by older men. The practice is known as Hamar.

https://static.pulse.ng/img/incoming/origs7420669/3521857176-w640-h640/Hamer-tribe-bull-jumping-Ethiopia-1-.jpg
5. Potency test in Uganda

In the Banyankole tribe, a minority tribe living in Uganda, marriage means quite a burden to the bride’s aunt.

When a couple wants to get married, the aunt has to have sex with the groom as a “potency test” and furthermore, she has to test the bride’s virginity.

6. Beating to earn a wife - Fulani
The Fulani tribes practise Sharo before getting married. Here the groom is beaten by the older members of the community so as to earn a wife and respect. If the man is not strong enough to bare the pain, the wedding is called off.

Other than flogging, the bride family can pick Koowgal, which is a dowry payment option or the Kabbal, an Islamic ceremony similar to marriage but in the absence of the bride and groom.

https://static.pulse.ng/img/incoming/origs7420671/1351854871-w640-h640/sharo.jpg

7. Lip stretching - Ethiopia and Sudan
The people of Surma tribe are found in southern Sudan as well as southwestern Ethiopia. During teenage years, females undergo the lip stretching procedure which involves removing their lower teeth to accommodate a lip plate; the lip plate is increased in size yearly until it is an astounding size.

Some of the men do this similar exercise with their ears. They also indoctrinate their warriors known as ‘stick fighters’ by inflicting scars on them, the belief is that the more scars they have, the more attractive they are to female members of the tribe.

KingMicky3286:
Can someone go out of Nigeria without passport?

Hahahahaha....u make me laugh bro. It seems u don't know how criminals, fugitives or desperate people leave a country for another without passport. Even through very tight borders, some people still manage to escape not to talk of through numerous Nigeria's porous unmanned borders. What they do is to escape first to a neighbouring country by land mostly through one of the numerous porous borders and from that country, find their way to their destination of choice. A lot of things happen underground bro lol

Gwaihir:
These cases are different. The two examples you cited were apostles of Christ to preach the gospel. They weren't ordinary humans living ordinary lives. I believe the bible said, those who lose their life for his sake will gain t and those who withhold it, will lose it. That is strictly based on the gospel of Christ.


I believe we are talking about daily lives here, daily lives that had to do with people not wanting you to survive, excel, live peacefully. Basically, people who are afflicting you to the point you can go insane or just lose hope on God. This affliction should be endured but not to the manner that who is responsible take victory over your soul. When the devil tormented Jesus did he just sit back and tolerated it or reprimanded him till he left?

When the human possessed by demons, was chased into pigs, should he have said such person should endure the torments?

When it was the woman who was an harlot, did he say her act was just or said there was justification for such? But that no one should judge the woman and told the woman to go and sin no more

There is grace for those who havent heard the word or come to the true understanding of God ditto for Stephen and Jesus. But for those who it has been repeatedly sounded in their ear and have known the gospel but still continue to do otherwise, there is no reason a man should continue to turn the other cheek or allow such person to continue to afflict you. You are basically just using yourself to suffer and also preventing that person to see the consequence of his/her choices. Ditto for Sodom and Gomorrah, and Ananias and Saphira.

It is also in the bible, that some people will not change from their ways until they experience terrible circumstances. That is when their eyes will open ditto for Paul.

@manilika did you ignore the emboldened or you just did not understand it?

When I see people misquote the scriptures this way I simply shake my head. This shows you simply do not understand Christ and therefore do not understand the Christian religion you claim to belong.

ITbomb:
No be enemy wey wan kill you, na enemy wey no agree with our point of view we suppose love, every other enemies die by fire
Oya join die die die die die die die die die die die

Saul was an enemy of the Christians and he killed so many of them including Stephen. Stephen was stoned to death and those that murdered him laid their cloths at the feet of Saul but Stephen said something remarkable when he was about to die "Father do not hold this against them for they do not know what they do." All other apostles would run and hide at the hearing of Saul approaching, remember how Saul was arrested by Jesus Himself and his name changed to Paul? You see, Jesus' teachings of "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute (or want to kill) you is the true teaching of love so, if you do otherwise, you are simply going against Christ and shouldn't call yourself a Christian

tochivitus:
so I saw Nigeria flag and one other flag, beside the president, abeg what flag is that one am not under understanding

That's the Armed Forces flag. That seat between those flags is the seat of the President and Commander of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

dmostcheerful:
Ndi uchu
For a man whose speech has dismembered the country from day one of his leadership saying he won't allow the division of the country is quiet hypocritical.
So the power production reaches a new high of 7,001MW, this man is not ashamed, even the GEJ administration surpassed that. You should at lease be boosting of 10,000MW-12,000MW
the new presidential initiative has generated over 360,000 jobs, after hundreds of millions lost there job you can only boost of creating 360,000 jobs.
Talking about boko haram, was it not the one that attacked yesterday.
What this administration did was suppressing news on boko haram attacks but as for boko haram they are well still under existence. For a group to attach a barrack meaning they are still very well strong.
APC's means of achievement, destroy a stable system them, reinstall it.
Baba your administration have nothing new to offer or boast of, your administration has led Nigerians back 10years further, it will take only a visionary government to take Nigeria forward from how back you took us.

Wasted 57years of existence, MTCHEEEEEEEEW

Your hatred for Buhari shouldn't make u dole out lies like this. When did GEJ generate electricity above 7000MA? Even the whole of the 16year rule of PDP never generated power up to 5000MW. Don't let hatred blind you gurl

abiodunalasa:
Is this not the same mofo who prophesied that Buhari will not return alive...

Does anyone still go to his church

Don't mind the pundit. He predicted (what he called prophesy) that Jonathan will win the 2015 elections but he lost. He said God told him Buhari will not return alive from his London treatment but here we still have Buhari has the president. Now, he is saying by 2035 Nigeria will disintegrate into 5 nations... Is this not one too many to know a false prophet? This man has lied against the Holy Spirit because Holy Spirit is one that reveals the mind of God to man through prophesy. If it were to be the time of old, this man would be stoned to death. I pity those who still go to his church

orbis:
Chief thats why we recommend doing a geological survey to know the direction of flow of the aquifer and also do proper grouting of your well acter drilling to reduce the chances of contamination. The pronlem we have is people patronizing professional plumbers who claim to be drillers even if they lack the scientific understanding of groundwater flow. I recommend everyone to spend a bit extra money consulting a professional and maybe spend a bit by installing a treatment unit for you water.
The govt have failed to give us water so its all man for himself. Thunder fire govt

You're right man. Many of these 'boreholes' drilled in our cities are drilled by nonprofessionals

orbis:
What is the average depth of your boreholes and what is thr nature of the sedimentary sequences in the area. All theae play a part 8n getting you clean water from your boreholes. Do research well before posting junk

Do not totally despise what the op has posted, he still have some valid points. The question is how deep are the boreholes that are being dug in Nigeria? I happened to witness the digging of a borehole in an area in Lagos where houses are closely built without allowances or space and no cross ventilation and the soakaway of one building is not far to another building's borehole. The dept of this borehole is not deep enough, in fact, what can best be described as a well is often called borehole.
Another thing I noticed is that, when they dig borehole in most places in Nigeria like Lagos, they often consider the location of the building's soakaway without considering the location of their neighbour's soakaway therefore, you see that contaminants from the neighbour's soakaway can easily percolate through ground water into their 'borehole' water. This calls for public health concern.

Transliteration is NASRUNMINALLAH

• Which means victory is from Allah alone

• Not Arabic like those in our currency it's Ajami which is ancient hausa writings

The logo is of utmost importance and is seen in many establishments of the Nigerian Army. So here is a breakdown of the Nigerian Army logo:

THE EAGLE: The eagle represents the graceful power of the Nigerian Army. In various cultures across the globe, the eagle is revered as a towering symbol of grace, power and elegance. Just like an eagle, the Nigerian Army maintains keen surveillance during times of peace and strikes with brutal precision and eye-popping decisiveness only when it has been provoked beyond tolerance.

THE TWO INTERLACED TRIANGLE-LIKE SIX-POINTED STARS: This is the first symbol of Nigerian unity and it was first struck by Governor-General Lord Lugard in 1914. This was put in place when the Northern and Southern Protectorates were merged to form one nation, which explains the interlacing of the two stars. The Nigerian Army shall maintain the unity of Nigeria.

THE ARABIC SCRIPT: The transliteration of the Arabic script on the Nigerian Army logo is:Nasrunminallah  which means:Victory Comes From God AloneThis particular motto was inscribed on the banner under which the Nigerian indigenous forces battled against the invading colonial forces. It symbolizes the fact that the Nigerian Army stands to defend the territorial integrity of the country at all times. The motto was formerly that of Shehu Usman Dan Fodio, head of the Sokoto Caliphate. Contrary to what many think, the inclusion of the Arabic motto was not done singlehandedly by General Muhammadu Buhari (now president) or by northern elders but by the British.

The adoption of the motto of the Sokoto Caliphate, as that of the Nigerian Army, was made by the British – before Nigerian Independence, and long before Major General M. Buhari (rtd) even joined the Army.  The Nigerian Navy and AirForce have different mottos from the Army.

One of the reasons was that the fall of Sokoto in 1903 – and death of Sultan Attahiru – was (and in some circles, still is) inaccurately regarded by western historians as the last formal battle in the fall of what became “Nigeria”.  The highly symbolic Flag of the Caliphate was captured by the British, recaptured by gallant Sokoto Horsemen and recaptured again by the British.  It was kept for many years as a British trophy in one of the officers’ messes in Kaduna but returned in a formal ceremony just prior to Nigerian Independence.  The myth was spun and sustained by British Tradition.

However, “Nigeria” did not really fall in 1903.  The Tiv of the middle belt of “Northern Nigeria”, for example, were not militarily or otherwise pacified for at least another ten (10) years.  Many pockets of resistance remained in present day “Southern Nigeria” – including Ekumeku and many others. Abeokuta lost its independence in 1914.

Nevertheless, the symbolism of the events of 1903 became etched into official memory, as shaped by Dealtry Lugard, which is why the Northern Nigeria regiment and later the combined Nigeria regiment (when Lugard supervised the wedding of Northern and Southern Nigeria in 1914) adopted the Sokoto motto.

Many indigenous pre-colonial Nigerian armies and nationalities resisted British rule.  They all presumably had their own mottos, but Sir Lugard was preoccupied with his personal legacy as embodied by the subjugation of the Sokoto Caliphate and stabilization of the Anglo-French colonial frontier in the north.  It is not the making of modern day “Northern Nigeria” or “Northern leaders” or “Leaders of Northern origin”  or “Hausa-Fulani oligarchy or cabal” – as various writers suggest, that the motto of the Nigerian Army is that of the pre-colonial Sokoto Caliphate.   It is one of the many colonial scars in modern Nigeria – and there are many.  I have even heard of a cynical interpretation that Lugard privately scoffed at the Sokoto motto “Victory is with God Alone” by saying that he gained victory over the Caliphate by combining God with the Maxim gun.  And so to this day, while we are encouraged to wait for God to bring victory,  predator nations worship God in the day and make new weapons at night.

The Army motto can certainly be discussed and debated and perhaps even open to change after due process (if deemed necessary), but we should keep the true historical context and cynical significance in mind. Nigeria is in many ways the way it is because of the legacy of British conquest.  Major General M. Buhari (rtd) did not single handedly or otherwise inscribe the motto of Shehu Dan Fodio into the battle flag and the insignia of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

The original reason for Arabic was that Frederick Lugard (who was the first Commander of the West African Frontier Force (1897 – 99) and later the first High Commissioner  of Northern Nigeria (1899 – 1906); and later the Governor of the protectorates of Northern and Southern Nigeria (1912 – 1914); and finally the first Governor General of post-amalgamation Nigeria (1914 – 1919 ); identified Arabic the only written “indigenous” language anywhere in Nigeria/West Africa, particularly among the widely spread Hausa trader class across the region. (See Lugard report to Parliament, 1919)    Arabic inscriptions were, therefore, used as symbols, not only for currency but even on official West African Frontier Force badges etc… which persist until today in Nigerian Army badges etc…

In the mind of the British colonial administrators in Nigeria – whose administrative experience was heavily influenced by their military service in Northern Nigeria and other parts of the sahel belt of West Africa – rightly or wrongly, Arabic writing was to West Africa as Latin was to Europe. In addition to English, therefore, they used Arabic to domesticate British instruments meant for local use.  The fact that such symbols still exist is one of many scars of the era of colonial rule.  However, not all former British West African colonies still use Arabic translations on their currencies as a footnote to history. Nigeria and Gambia do.  Ghana and Sierra Leone do not.

THE COLOUR RED: This colour depicts the enemy forces, their installations and their activities. Colours used in the Nigerian Armed Forces often follow the NATO military colour code and can stand for the same thing even when used in different places. The Nigerian Army uses a flag that has three vertical stripes (red, black and red), all of the same width. The flag is flown at the Nigerian Army headquarters.

Nigerian Army Taekwondo Association (NATA) Founded 1988. MOTTO: Be Aggressive. The army crest can be visibly seen here too.

Early Christians such as Peter, Paul, John and so on did not collect tithe neither did they give rather, what they were practising then was to contribute all they had and share equally so that no one would be poorer or richer. Act 5:1-11 is example where Ananias and Sappira where punished with death for lying about their own contribution.
Biblical things to know:
1. Early Christians never paid or receive tithe yet, they were not denied eternal life based on that.
2. Tithe is a Jewish custom commanded by God to all Israelites to give to the Levites because God commanded Levites not to work but to be priests in His house. So, the only way they can eat since they are not allowed to work or own inheritance is through the food brought to them as tithe. Mal 3:10 says "bring the whole tithe into my house so that there will be food in my house (for the Levites)..."
Therefore, tithing is a Jewish culture which is Judaism but for Christianity, cheerful giving to those who are in need is to be practised.

The video says a second civil war is not necessary and IPOB is campaigning for referendum and not civil war.

IPOB does not call for war yet, they hoist another supposedly sovereign flag in a sovereign nation; established Biafra Secret Service; owns a radio station where hate is being broadcast and calls Nigeria a zoo that will be burnt down and you say that's not a call for war? All those are treasonable offences which come with dare consequences

Well. These facts are not very accurate. First and Foremost, Emperor Constantine naming a city Constantinople was purely political and nothing Christian. He didn't do it becos he wanted to see souls saved for Christ. It was his conquest.

When you mentioned Apostle Paul coming from Turkey, i was hoping you'd tell me how that is possible, but you left it to talk about the Catholic Church and their political invasions.

Listen friend. Our Lord and Master Jesus Christ gave visions to Apostle John to the Churches in Asia Minor which was then Ephesus and the rest. Do a research of Ephesus, Symnah, Pergamum, Thythira Sadis, Pamphilia. Find out where these cities were and where they are now. Those cities have been morphed into different countries.

There's a lie which is circulating everywhere and making it seem like Christianity has failed or Christ is not doing enough. Listen my brother, Christ didn't come to take over cities or nations, Christ never was interested in world governments, He came for souls. And believe me, Islam may have taken the seat of power which it does immediately it gets into a place, but you maybe surprised how many Christians are in Turkey.

Satan thrives on lies and propaganda, believe me.
Muslims will have you believe there are no Christians in Saudi Arabia right? But they are.

The Catholic Church went about conquering nations and turning them to Catholic, also did Islam. They are children of the same father.

Let me blow you mind, Catholicism raised Islam. They gave islam the power it had with the hope that, when Islam was able to erase real Christianity, Islam will surrender power to them, but alas, Islam revolted against it's master and became a thorn.


And, as for Islam. They come attacking first, when you attack back, they stand back and begin to cry foul.

Without their evil plot to kill everyone and turn the world to Islam, there wouldn't have been the Crusades.

Edorgan is an ignorant or deceptive man at best.

Ah ah!!! Bros, take it easy with these lies. I opened my mouth all through reading this and shaking my head at your ignorance or mischief. Stop writing what you don't know & pls don't change history.
There was NEVER a conspiracy (written or spoken) by historians between Catholic church and Islam to wage jihad against cities so that Islam would convert people to Catholicism in return. That is absolute rubbish and lacks sense. Rather, the Catholic church was persecuted by the Roman empire but survived it. The church was also persecuted by Islam at some point in history when they waged the 'holy war' called jihad against cities and Christians. One of the first of the kinds was the jihad against Turkey which was predominantly Catholic (Christian) country leaving many forcefully converted to Islam and many killed because they refused to renounce their faith in Christ. Some others fled. Presently, Turkey is Muslim nation with minority few as Christians.

cstr1000:
It is also funny how the Roman catholic Church is now regarded as the only church.
These are the guys that killed Jesus, Slaughtered Christians in their thousands, fed them to lions, and beheaded hundreds including the apostles.
Now they are the custodian of Christianity.

Get your facts right, it costs you nothing to do a little research or read your bible. The Roman empire persecuted and killed the early Christians. Peter was also killed by the Roman empire but many years after Peter was killed, Christianity prevailed because the Roman king then, Constantine was converted to Christianity and provided protection to the Christians. Constantine allowed them to gather and worship God and due to this freedom, Vatican, the seat of St. Peter known as the universal church- the Roman Catholic Church was recognised as a political and religious force.
Now you know that Roman empire is NOT the same as Roman Catholic Church. The Vatican is the seat of Peter who was the leader of the early Christians and was killed by the Roman empire. The Vatican came to be recognised by the Roman empire when their king Constantine was converted to a (Catholic) Christian

You can certainly live on $1k/month. Millions of American adults don't make $1k/month, however, you'll most likely be living in poverty.

Best case scenario: You find a room in a shared apartment to rent at around $250 - $400 (hard to get).
If it comes with electric, heat and internet included, then great. The remaining $600 can go toward your other expenses.

A good place to check available rent prices is Craigslist.
Go on craigslist . org. Find the city you want to check out, then visit the "housing" section.

For a shortcut to it, copy/paste this into Google: "Washington DC rooms for rent craigslist"
Click the first result, and use the drop-down to sort by price, so it shows the cheapest ones first.

Thanks. It's only a visit for a short stay by a single person

A google search should've been your first option.
There's all kinds of statistical data on the cost of living in these places. Except you're trying to get first-hand info.

The rule of thumb is: The bigger the city, the higher the cost.

Living in NY could cost a fortune, or cost relatively little, depending on where you live.
Living in NYC (New York City) is significantly more expensive than living in other parts of New York State, for instance.
[New York City is in New York state, like Kano City is in Kano State].

NYC is made up of 5 Boroughs: Manhattan, Queens, The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Staten Island.

Average rent in Manhattan (most expensive borough) is $3,900/month for a 2-bedroom. With a roommate, that's $1,800 each in rent.
The cheapest borough in NYC is Staten Island. You can get an okay 1 BR apartment for only $1k/month.

New York is a sizable state, but most areas outside NYC aren't worth living in, as far as opportunities for a new immigrant.

Your true cost of living will depend on your lifestyle. However, you could survive with an income of $2k/month if you're really frugal.

My guess is you're looking for the cheapest option, so while looking, consider the following expenses:

- Rent - $1k
- Electric & Gas - $100 - 200 depending on the season (or if included in rent).
- Groceries (feeding) - $150 - $300, if you're not a glutton.
- Car insurance (or transport if you won't own a car) - $200
- Phone, cable & internet - $100 - $200

These are perhaps the most basic things you'll need for a start, for one person.

In general, the cheapest part of the US to live is the Mid-West (they're boring places).
The states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

Chicago in Illinois is the only real major city in the Mid-West, but you really don't want to live in Chicago. You'll be safer living in Iraq.

Thanks for this. Though, I've done some google search but I wanted a first hand info from people who live in these cities. I am basically wondering if one can live on $1000 per month in Washington DC or NY

Hello Nairalanders, I would like to get some info on the cost of living per person per month in some cities in the US. Pls can anyone give me on an average the cost of living in NY, Washington DC or any major city in the US that a person would need in a month?

This cost of living will comprise of house rent (shared apartment), feeding & basic need for one person in a month. Pls u can provide this info as an estimated average. Thanks

*pls I'm really in need of this info.

The wickedness of the enemies is enough to send them six foot under. U won't understand until the enemy don do u stronggggg tin.

Is it by your feelings or what God feels? If it is by how you feel, then you will be led by the flesh to think through the pain they caused you to pray for their death but if you are led by the Spirit you will abide by what Jesus said "do good to those who hate you and pray for your enemies." This is what makes you different from a sinner. The choice is yours to obey Jesus or the flesh

I am only certain of communion, Catholic churches don't recognise Anglican communicants.


I guess churches in remote areas take things too far besides going to heaven is not a function of church.

Poster, your parents can convert to any Jesus/bible believing church and leave judgment to God.

On the bolded, that's not true. Catholic church recognises Anglican's communicants & baptism. In fact, Anglican church recites the Catholic's Creed "I believe in God" which contains this part "I believe in the holy Catholic church..."

Be wise people and stop peddling false ideas/ rumors about the catholic church.
The catholic church has canon laws that cover this type of situation. It is very possible for a Catholic to marry an Anglican or whatever church..even a muslim.
All you need are;
1. A permission for Mixed Marriage
i.e. permission for a Catholic to marry a baptized non-Catholic.
2. A dispensation from Form
i.e. allowing you to marry with the officiant being someone other than a Catholic priest. This form includes a permission from place which states that the wedding is not in a Catholic Church.

In order to get that first permission (Mixed Marriage) you will make two promises. Your future spouse does not make the same promises but needs to witness your promises; namely:

I will remain a Catholic and continue to practice my faith.
I will do all in my power to baptize and raise the children as Catholic.

The Catholic Church is very unique..
It has laws/rules pertaining every situation.
Remain blessed.

Thank you very much for this.
@ikechizoba, above is what the Canon law of the Catholic church says about mixed marriage I.e. a Catholic marrying a non Catholic. The church allows mixed marriage so those threats by your priest and aunty should be reported to the Bishop IMMEDIATELY & don't take it lightly because they are contravening the laws of the church and spreading falsehood.

*I learnt there is a part of east where the rivalry between Catholics and Anglicans is SO intense, may be that's where you come from. If so, know today that it is anti-christ, if not those people would find it difficult to enter heaven no matter how righteous they think they are.
