NJyoruba12: Africans are religious and spiritual people by nature. The problem is that abrahamic religions are not of our ancestors which is why there is still a disconnect in these religions. We don't have our own religion (or we don't take it seriously) which is why were so divided. Islam and Christianity have never mixed. I'm not sure what the solution is to this problem. I personally grew up as a Christian and would never convert to Islam. I have since left Christianity cause i could not stand worshipping Jesus
I highly disagree. Africans were well divided way before the advent of Abrahamic religions. I think Africans grew up to be too fiercely tribalistic and had no unifying force either as a person, group of people or even the environment. Look at the history of any of humanity's great civilisations, they were divided and then united behind either a person, a group or against the environment to achieve greatness.

He created humans in His image that's why you can't see any invention from other creatures except (humans) so inventions is left for creatures (humans) made in the image of the greatest inventor: GOD!
LoLz! Other animals use tools and make inventions. Look up beavers and the dams they build. Look up ants and how they do animal husbandry to feed themselves. Monkeys, chimps and some birds use tools to open and scrape out food from fruits, clams and other sources of their food.
Sanmel: This happened in a well known family planning facility. We thought the young lady was lying until we asked for her mother's number and put a call through. According to her, her daughter has a boyfriend and the boyfriend's father will soon celebrate his 70th birthday, she's not going to be there and she doesn't know how far the daughter has gone or will go with the boyfriend. She also said, she had all her children out of wedlock and she doesn't want same for her daughter, so she requested for her daughter to be counseled and a method chosen if necessary.
Just in case you're not aware, the Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria (PPFN) has extended it services to both singles and underage so far they're sexually active..
What are your thoughts on this topic?
Bold move by the mum, it's difficult to acknowledge deficiencies sometimes so for her to do so in this case is commendable. I only hope it has the desired effect.
TheSourcerer: wow Lord, would have been a great venture , we could still pool minds and create one , it almost always doesn’t have to end in deaths
Human beings are too complex for utopias at this stage. Your motivations, stressors and other social mechanics will not line up with the people you are forming that commune with which means you will either have to become a high control cult or an ultra liberal one. Neither of which brings about a healthy community.
Krishna Venta (born Francis Herman Pencovic; March 29, 1911 – December 10, 1958) was an American religious master. He was the leader of a California religious group in the 1940s and 1950s. Venta founded his WKFL (Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith and Love) - Fountain of the World cult in Simi Valley, California.
Pencovic was born in San Francisco in 1911 to Albert Pencovic, a Jewish immigrant from Romania and his wife Maude Busenbach,born in Utah. Pencovic graduated from high school in Elko, Nevada. He married twice and served in the United States Army during World War II.
After World War II, Pencovic decided to start his religion. In April 1948, he stated: "I may as well say it, I am Christ." Krishna claimed to have been born on another planet, long ago but not so far away—240,000 years ago, on the planet Neophrates, which occupied the same orbit as Earth does presently, and was humanity’s first home. But as the planet moved inexorably closer to the sun it became uninhabitable. A fleet of great rocket ships, each more than a mile long and capable of carrying 35,000 people, set off to colonize the Dark Planet that would become Earth. Naturally, their leader was that soul who would one day manifest as Krishna Venta, Along the way, he would also bestow revelations upon such notables as Melchizedek of Salem, Kukulcan and Quelzalcoatl, the Hopi trickster Masaw, Abraham and Moses, Mohammed and the Buddha, the angels Moroni and Gabriel, and Jesus Christ. All this was elaborated in Krishna Venta’s history of humanity, a rambling series of periodic near-extinction-level events with distinctly theosophical and Mormon overtones. In 1951, he legally changed his name to "Krishna Venta" in California.
The Fountain of the World first gained national exposure in 1949 when the news reported that Fountain members were among the first to offer aid to the victims of Standard Air Lines Flight 897R, which crashed into the Simi Hills, killing 35 of the 48 people on board. They volunteered for other humanitarian efforts including fighting wildfires, offering shelter to those in need and feeding the homeless. They also drew attention in the press for uniformly dressing in robes, going barefoot, and requiring its male members to grow beards and wear their hair long. In 1956, a second branch of the WKFL Fountain of the World cult was established in Homer, Alaska. The Fountain was marginally controversial because one of the requirements for membership was that one donate all worldly assets to the group before joining. For most who joined the Fountain, this was irrelevant since most had few possessions anyway.
Venta prophesied an imminent cataclysm, with the Master’s projected flock of 144,000 guaranteed to be saved, and to build a new world once the dust and blood had settled, a version well adapted to the Cold-War climate of the times. The coming cataclysm would be a racially motivated civil war in the West, particularly in America, where the blacks would rise up and bloodily vanquish the whites (with aid from Russia). Then the traitorous Russians would turn around and conquer the blacks, and try to take over the world. However, Krishna’s followers after spending the war tucked snugly away in a safe place would re-emerge from a secret valley, conquer the Russians and build a shining new world of equality, justice, and peace, with Krishna Venta in his rightful place as world messiah.
Venta was killed in Chatsworth, California, along with seven bystanders, on December 10, 1958 in a suicide bombing instigated by Peter Duma Kamenoff and Ralph Muller. The two disgruntled former followers had accused Venta of being a fraud who mishandled cult funds and had been intimate with their wives.
The two ex-cultists were linked to the blast by bizarre tape recordings in which they vowed: "to bring Krishna to justice". The explosion blew off the roof of an adjoining dormitory for children and touched off a brush fire that swept over 150 acres. Two children, both girls, ages 8 and 9, and a 59-year-old woman were seriously burned.
After his death two of his followers, Sister Thedra (Dorothy Leon) and Sister Wali, moved to Mount Shasta, California, where they channeled messages supposedly from him. Fountain membership at both sites declined rapidly following his death, and the cult had ceased to exist by the mid-1970s.
It is also purported that in 1968, ten years after Krishna Venta was assassinated, another Jesus-claimant by the name of Charles Manson and his coterie (including Susan Atkins) resided for several months at the Fountain of the World. Manson had even made an unsuccessful takeover bid. He was eventually booted from the commune, and moved his group to nearby Spahn Movie Ranch. There is debate over how far Krishna Venta’s teachings influenced Charles Manson, but there are strong parallels between Venta’s apocalypse and Manson’s Helter Skelter. A bloody race war in which the whites will lose to the blacks, after which Manson's family would re-emerge from a secret cave in the desert or “hole in the earth” and take over.
Sun Myung Moon and his followers also took up residence with the Fountain of the World community for several months in 1968.
I almost became one of these. I had a glorious dream of building a holy commune for the god and with like minded people, with whom we can share everything and never lack while spending our days praising the god to show the world how love and peace can be the foundation of a prosperous society.
That's until I learnt that communes are not a very successful venture especially religious ones. Many of them turn into horror stories. I'm glad I didn't waste my time trying to do that.
Lastpharoah33: For all we know, a good percentage of women (nigerian esp) are on this table.
You didn't answer my question.
Are you a fraudster because Hushpuppy is a fraudster? For all we know you are a fraudster because Hushpuppy is a fraudster. Do you see how that sounds? How do you label a whole group of people just because of 1 person?
Blessedmercy8: All men low key desire a whor.e or slutty lady.I'll tell you why.
Naturally, all men desire and are easily attracted to slutty and whorish ladies but for what people would say, the downsides and cons of whoredom, plus the way society frowns at it, men would have thrown caution into the wind and gone all out to wife them without minding.
The reason Im saying this without flinching is because I've observed this over a period of time from real life stories and my personal experience with them directly or indirectly.
Now, a man will sight two ladies with different mode of dressing. One dressed slutty while the other dressed decently but will choose to go after the slutty ones. Now these men are the ones who don't give a damn what people think about their choice. They are open about it. Before you come for me with the "not all men" cliche, let me quickly say here that even the ones who end up going for the decent looking girls wish in their heart to go for the slutty ones but for what people will say they just settle for what society deems proper.
That is why a man who ends up marrying a decent lady will go ahead and make the slutty one a side chick. That's the gospel truth. The ones who due to their religious beliefs can't have a side chick feel trapped for the rest of their lives and most times take it out on their wifes. Ask our sisters married to born again bros.
Men always have eyes for sluts and this is the reason why a man born of a woman can come up ask questions like, can one marry a former prostitute? Will she change ,or go back after marriage and you hear comments like, every woman is a prostitute, so marry her it makes no difference" just to back your wrong choice. This is why many, knowing full well that this lady is whorish go ahead and marry her but later start having issues in marriage even before the marriage starts.
I tell my personal experience. A supposed "christian bro" wanted us to strike a relationship but somehow it didn't work out. This was someone who claimed to be a born again and wanted a decent lady for marriage. So, after we quit the relationship, the same born again bro started dotting on one girl that was clearly a slut. As in her dressing is always very suggestive. She mostly post sultry pics on her profile like you could tell the kind of person she is. This was the person bro was dotting on. He came out openly to tell her to check her mail that he PMd her. Kept stalking her and disturbing this lady. Lol.. I laughed.. mehn!.. it got to a point the lady blanked him and he started insulting the lady on every Post till he got tired. I just laughed at his stupidity but then that's men for you on what they want vs what they go for.
This I've come to discover and it's one of the reasons I don't pity men whenever they come complaining about their wife's behavior cos they knew what they were going into but shunned the warnings of their sixth sense, hoping the women will turn a new leaf.
They want a slutty woman in "decent girl" clothing but it doesn't work that way. You can't have your cake and eat it. You either settle for a decent girl that may not be your taste but give you peace of mind or go for the slut that will give you the vibes you want but keep you on your toes.
This is true of all men with no exemptions.
Shalom.
What is your definition of slut? Someone who likes sex or likes to look sexy?
So the mutation that gives 10% Scandinavians the ability to resist HIV is destructive?
The mutation that give staphylococcus aureus the ability to resist penicillin is destructive? Goodness me I was able to travel abroad to study else I would have ended up like you, a quack biologist who knows nothing.
so if the bacteria develops resistant without becoming a goat, it’s not evolution?
3rd world country biologist
They either don't know what evolution is, don't understand it or deliberately misrepresent it. It's so hilariously frustrating. LoLz.
petra1: What of those who were sacked all over the world. or made to resign over . Some are trying to sue the establishment presently .I don't know why you seem to.be defending this evil
I am asking about you, were you sacked because you didn't take it?
We are having this kind of attack second time this month and the pattern of the attack is exactly the same.
Due to farm invasion of our livestocks, we only allow them to graze at night and leave them till daybreak while we let them into their cage.
The first victim of this wild attack was Huda ram, he was sick and want missing, after about the third day, we found him with his head ripped off from the neck, likewise the second goat, brought in for mating about 12 days ago, felt sick, recovering, went to graze and the second day we met him this way.
We are currently working on installing perimeter net for the first part of the land we intend to use for livestock, that's about 3 acres, it separates the farm from the remaining land meant for crop plantation.
Which animal do you think is on the prowl? Kindly suggest how to capture or kill this animal.

Looks like an attack from one of the large cat family.
ultim: Religious teaching makes him break down at interval asking for forgiveness for conducts that are normal for a child, "will I go to hell fire?" "Will God forgive me?". He cites his teacher as the person teaching them all that. Another day, he becomes moody and after a while asks, "where do animals go when they die?". I once answered "nowhere cos they are animals",and he broke down again wailing this time, that he loves eagles. Why can't eagles go to heaven. At some point I take these as child things but, could it be the teachers are taking religious education to a different dimension not suitable for children of certain school age?
This is religious trauma and it is damaging the child's psyche.
People like things that make them feel good or have hope. It's easier to exploit peoples emotional highs, for instance some people get scammed because of their fears, some others are scammed because of romantic feelings. Emotion bypasses reason a lot of the time, it takes quite a bit of self control to reign in your emotions and take a second closer look at something.
They tried . No flight, job sack and tthreats of job sack etc . travel ban.wtc what do you call it
But it didn't work, you didn't take it, right? Were you sacked from work?
At my job a memo came out that we should, some did, some didn't, nobody was sacked over it, nobody died from the vaccine either. I dunno where you people come up with this stuff.
jesusjnr2020: One of the most misleading ideas about speaking in tongues today, is that it is speaking in an unknown language or a language that cannot be understood.
The instance of spoken tongues on the day of Pentecost proves this idea to be false as the tongues they spoke on that day as the Spirit of God gave them utterance was observed to have broken the language barrier, hence could be understood by all men of other tongues and tribes on Earth gathered there despite being spoken by Galileans. Acts 2:5-11.
Do you know of any one who has displayed this gift as you hold it to be?
