RomanceRe: My Brother & His Fiancee Are Both AS, Yet He Wants To Go Ahead With The Marriage by MacBan: 4:09am On Apr 24, 2018
Sultan5:
This is a very tricky and delicate situation. I am a strong believer in preventive medicine but also a strong believer in God. From a medical standpoint this marriage is risky. The financial and emotional drain a child with SS brings is enormous. It will eventually cause a strain between them if they are not strong enough. Not to talk of the effects on the extended family. And that's just one child, what if they end up with multiple children been sicklers. I can't even begin to imagine.

On the other hand nothing is set in stone. With each pregnancy they have 1 in 4 chance of giving birth to a sickler and 3 in 4 chance of giving birth to a healthy child. Those aren't bad odds if you are a gambler. I believe faith is extremely important. I remember a few years ago in Winners Chapel Warri, a married couple who were both AS were testifying with a new born in hand and 2 smaller children close to them. Am sure you can guess their testimony, none of those children were sicklers. Some can say its pure luck others divine intervention. What I will say is Faith is a powerful force don't underestimate it.

Best thing for you to do is ensure again they both understand the risks. If they choose to go with faith let them, it's a powerful force. Don't interfere, your brother is not a child and neither is the girl. They know the risks and have BOTH chosen to go through with it. As long as neither one is mentally unstable or unsound in mind, its their choice and they have made it. You have to accept it, try to put aside your own stance and support them because that's what family do.

Trying to threaten the girl with only make matters worse and strengthen their resolve even more especially since your parents have given their blessings. The only thing you will succeed in doing is alienating yourself and I honestly don't see what good that will do.

Please understand, this wasn't an easy decision for them to make and you adding to that isn't fair to be honest. Yes they have made a decision you clearly don't agree with but in the end he is your family. And she will be your family should this pull through. Family gives support so give it. I will just advice you to place it in God's Hands and let him stir the situation to the permanent site.
You have said it all. This post is quite delicate and so should be moved to front page.

Paperwhite:
No political party can change Nigeria because It's the same politicians that are just in the same rotating musical chairs.
The only definitive solution to the present quagmire is total restructuring/true federalism or God should pls bomb Nigeria so that we can start afresh.
Exactly my thought sir...although anything but that dullard .

PoliticsRe: Festus Keyamo Reacts To Photos Of Crowd Welcoming Buhari In Different States by MacBan: 5:36pm On Mar 09, 2018
[b]
hedonistic:
This mediocre 'lawyer' buffoon called Festus Keyamo is having a blast under Buhari. Making loads of money at EFCC/NDIC and buying properties here and there. What else do you expect from him?

Anyone with a functional brain would be very worried by these jobless, uneducated, and dirt poor abokki crowds who waste productive hours under the scorching sun - climbing trees like monkeys and chanting like pre-civilisation brutes to welcome a character whose government is impoverishing them. If Buhari was any good, shouldn't these jobless crowds be gainfully employed in different factories, farms, business outlets and offices? If they were employed, would they have the spare time to hang on trees to asslick a useless politician like Buhari during working hours?

The kind of people who are able to access the social media to express their genuine political views (not paid agents like the so-called BMC crew) are educated, enlightened and empowered. They are champions of political participation. They know what is going on and they know what is and what ought to be. That is the hallmark of a liberated, civilised society. Shouldn't this be what any sensible person should encourage?

What kind of idiot (Keyamo) would be happy that millions of almajiri hopeless urchins are jobless enough to follow a president's convoy all over the place and potentially vote for him to their own detriment? Do these kinds of poverty-stricken and uneducated urchins even know their left from their right, or are they merely mindless puppets and zombies who unquestioningly take instructions from their local Imams and Emirs?

Be ye not deceived.

Thieves, ritualists and prostitutes also share their testimonies in church.
They only tell us that God has blessed them, but they never say what they did.

That white baby the woman is carrying says a lot about the source of her breakthrough.
It obviously came from the same place (ohere) the baby came.
You are a wise being... smiley
