@KunleOshob: Thanks bro, but leave me and my friends called [size=14pt]Kraviyarola[/size] o. Viaro is not Pilgrim, I am getting more certain of that cos I saw pilgrim's past posts; but I know why I said Krayola is Viaro, otherwise known as Kraviyarola. Krayola, deep in his heart, knows why I said that. So does Viaro. Can we just leave it at that?

@Krayola:
AAhhh!! mo gbe. . .me i juss dey play wit u o. This one wey u wan turn am to battle of the egos again. oya no vex. I no chop cake again. Garri and epa no dey kill person. Na im sweet pass sef. . I go put kuli kuli on top i go dey all right. cake ko, sushi no. .
I know you really mean no harm, but if I dont react that way you will encourage some riff-raffs out here to act the same way cheesy

@Others: Apologies to everyone I mentioned in the post below, I was just teasing Krayola

Yeah, even that is sort of slightly plausible, but spurious, cos I must say the passion does not equate properly.

You can tell me that Toneyb = Davidylan = Abuzola (equally passionate)

or maybe Seun Osewa = Huxley = DeepSight = Pastor AIO

or posakosa = bawomolo

or Mazaje = Tudor

or Ogaga = errr, err, well, Ogaga. LOL.

or something but Krayola? He doesn't fit in with Davidylan and Abuzola, who seem to always know what they are talking about. LMAO

I still hold on to my belief, unless proven otherwise, that Viaro = Krayola. I never met pilgrim so I dont know about him/her.
@banom: Krayola appears, to me, to be a Christian. He just likes taking the devil's advocate position to understand perspectives better, maybe cos of his theological studies. It's a dangerous path to tread, I guess. But I think he knows what he is doing.

@Kraviyarola:

@Toluxa1:

Save your breath and time. Earlier in this thread, I said a muslim contacted me. [size=13pt]Same guy has again written me and asked me to read Surah 5:101 in which Allah warns muslims not to ask questions about things which if made plain to them, may cause them trouble.[/size] Any thing that could bring illumination must be kept away from and must not be considered whether reasonable or not. Please compare this to the God who said to "test ALL spirits". Anyway, olabowale has said we serve different gods.

The same guy wrote that I'm wasting my time cos none here will even bother to try to understand cos of the mindset and background. Sadly, he says he understands the issues involved but cannot convert for fear of his family and people.

I wish everyone luck here and my only reason for coming here was because I wondered at many things which have now become clear.
Thanks for the light at the end of the tunnel, nuclearboy. Finally I understand the reasons-why!

olabowale:
Nuclearboy's story which only is sugarcoated or fancifuly wrapped, is similar in lies, emptiness and deceitful attraction to the Budweiser beer show horses drawn carriage ad. Subhannallah, if you are not very careful, you could easily be seduced by it, thinking that beer is not dangerous and good for you! Thats the work of Shaitan, to make things bad seemingly attractive. I see trinity, son of God, begotten son of God, etc just like that. A bad story told with the fanciest tongue!

This reminded me of the christian transfiguration story that many of these people of Trinity have told here. In my sleep this morning before I had to get up for the morning prayer, between my bedroon and the bathroom is a walkway. I dreamt that some of these kufar brought their chum chi chum (magic) to this walk way, each passing and changing to hazy figure, then one of them finally said oh Olabowale, we christians are having our own transfiguration or transformation, so join us!

I said oh yeah, got up, stretch my left hand there, and it became like the way the Christian are appearing to me. It reminded me of what happened with Musa (AS), when he saw the magic of the Pharaoh court liars. I immediately withdrew my hand, and called on Allah, made darus on the messenger (AS), and recited Surah fatihah, followed it with Ayatul Kursi, and called each of the Christians to get on the spot and try again to display their "magic" while I am now reciting Surah Iklas. By Allah, no one of them changed in anyway because Allah debased their empty evil promises!
Wow what a colourful, affected dream! huh huh undecided lipsrsealed

@PapaBrowne: Chill, sir. You can read this thread, particularly this post https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=362189.msg5061390#msg5061390
and you will find out that m.other has been censored all over Nairaland. I think its a new censor script that has not yet been fully configured. There have been many complaints. Your case is just very interesting cos your post had to deal with a M.OTHER in particular.

It wasn't a moderator or anything to do with the religion threads. Cheers.

P.S. Can you believe I thought up and wrote this story in less than four hours?

P.S. Maybe there can be a sub-section on this "Nairaland" sub-forum where people can make suggestions, give feedback and/or make "acceptable" complaints to moderators and the super-admin? Just thinking,

RomanceThe Eight Irresistible Kinds Of Guys That Women Are Desperate To Hook Up With by mavenbox(op): 3:26pm On Dec 06, 2009
The oldest and most exasperated question I have ever seen guys ask is "What do women REALLY want?". Well, to answer that question, we will need to make a little digression. Stay with me. Or else, if you are impatient, you can jump straight to the list of 8 guys down below.

In the story of Cupid and Psyche (most beautiful woman on earth), Venus (goddess of love) is jealous of Psyche's beauty and asks her son (Cupid)
to make Psyche fall in love with an evil creature. Instead he fell in love with Psyche by mistakenly piercing himself with one of his own arrows. He flees when she discovers who he is, but she's already in love and has to undergo numerous trials to get Cupid's forgiveness for her lack of faith and appease Venus' wrath. Eventually Cupid appeals to Zeus (ruler of gods), who grants the pregnant Psyche immortality. Psyche and Venus are grudgingly reconciled, while Psyche gives birth to Volupta (goddess of sensual pleasures) afterwards.
If you're the type that has an intense desire to be bored, see the full story as told by an old woman in "The Golden Ass" (the only original Latin novel to ever survive in its entirety)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupid_and_Psyche
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Ass


And now my own add-ons to the story, cheesy

The next time Psyche gave birth, she had octuplets: 8 gods. It was uncommon among gods to have so many offspring, but she was still quite new to all the godliness stuff. None of the eight sons were handsome, but each was uniquely romantic in their own way. Venus was even more jealous but could not attack a fellow goddess, so she made the octuplets irresistible to mortal women. This was to punish them by breaking their hearts when they start dreaming of going Psyche's way - falling in love with a god. In fact, these eight were so overpoweringly irresistible that some women were simultaneously attracted to two or three of them at once.
Back to the topic:

This attraction is based on personality, communication, achievements, etc but women are usually not consciously aware of why they react to them, regardless of their religion, lifestyle, occupation, socioeconomic status or age.

Meet the octuplets of Cupid and Psyche: the EIGHT types of guys that women are desperate to hook up with

As you read this, you may want to think about Nairaland guys, you will see that "by their fruits, they are known". Judging by people's behaviour on NL, you can judge who belongs where, tongue

AIGEE the daredevil.
He's dangerous and thrilling to be around. He's your everyday bad-boy and troublemaker (He probably had some mortal proteges in your school or street, people might have called them ex-convicts, cultists, terrorists or touts). The women who fall in love with him claim that "He will always protect me". This is after Aigee has caught them,
CAGITA the adventurer.
He's fun and exciting to be around. He's the fantastical funlover, a wild person without any regard for norms (would never do any two things the same way). You've seen mortals like him: they may not really know where they are going but they are going there will all their might, laughing each day in the face. He can create an atmosphere of fantasy around him, and those who step into it never notice time passing them by. His lovers claim "It's never a dull moment with him".
THRENON the sensitive.
He's complex, creative and enigmatic. Often quiet and reserved, he has a powerful imagination. When he's not quiet, He's a comedian, an artist, a musician, a dancer, an instrumentalist, an entertainer, an author, a poet. The most quiet guy that was in your class is probably the best example of a mortal that's like Threnon. Another example is any guy who actually followed (or will follow) the link above to read the original story of Cupid and Psyche. That's what Threnon himself did, too, immediately I wrote it! Despite his creativity, Threnon can be very predictable but his women claim "It's almost like he can read my mind!"
HAELSTRAPH the seducer.
He's a womanizer. Period. Or not. His preoccupation is lying to each one of his lovers and making them feel sensual and dependent on him. I'm certain you have met many of his mortal friends. The women who have bought his lies repeat the fibs to their own hearts, "He makes me feel feminine".
BREEBOR the loyal.
He's regular, down-to-earth and loyal. A rare god, he is actually humble. He, like Threnon the sensitive, is also very predictable: you only need to imagine what Aigee the daredevil would do, and Breebor would do the exact opposite. He is the definition of stability to those that love him, and they would always say "He's the kinda guy I'd like to marry" but not always mean it.
SAEUBIO the controller.
He's a sure-footed toughball who enjoys telling people what to do. He always seems to be confidently sincere, even if he's confidently and sincerely wrong. This twisted daddy-figure bosses his lover around, telling her what to do and when and where to do it. He's certain his lover(s) can never make the right decision, so he keeps ordering her around. His lovers would often pause while being shoved around to say "He always knows what I should do in any circumstance".
MAGUS the genie.
He's what is called a lackey (or, to allow the colloquial term: an ass-kisser). Magus is a magic-wand, a genie for those that love him. He will always give them whatsoever they want, doing whatever the women need for them even if it would cause their growth to be stunted (And now Magus reminds me of a guy in school who used to do all the assignments & tests for his class girlfriend, ). He is a god, but he's her boy as well. She would always defend him from her friends, saying "Leave him alone. He's very very nice".
VIDACE the provider.
He's like a vending machine, providing a great lifestyle of stability and means. He often claims that he has today's answer for the provisions you don't know you need, but will realize you need tomorrow. Unlike Magus the genie, Vidace doesn't give anything away for free. This god will always receive payments as soon as he knows his lover is hooked, as she says, "He's a big boy, making other women envy us. He's got class!"
And there you have it. Girls, Ladies, Women beware! I hear these eight sometimes tag on in smaller teams of two or more, combining forces to try to win your heart. A word is enough for the wise,

Disclaimer:
I am not a "feminist", I am not a misanthrope, and I am very straight. I'm just being playful, having fun with the article. Men are not as terrible as I'm making them sound with the eight types I described here.

@Ogaga: You are either typing in fury, or you are not reading what you are typing, or,  errr,  you like using typos to drive your point home. When you say SAVE I assume you mean serve. It's okay I get that.

Why does God allow evil to exist? Simple! God gave man charge over the earth, man was god of the earth, and god of the worlds. Adam sold it to lucifer in exchange for knowledge that he would have gotten easily sooner or later: knowledge of good and evil. Rather than ask God for that knowledge, he ate the forbidden fruit and sold his kingdom away to the cunning lucifer. When Adam sold everything to lucifer in Eden, lucifer became the valid god of the earth, god of the sense realm where the 5 senses are in operation. It is the devil's kingdom and until his lease time is up, God will not outright wipe him away because God is just. God never created an imperfect world, sin made it imperfect. And who introduced the sin? Your father, lucifer, of course! Why cant human beings have freedom, you ask? That is exactly why God sent his Son Jesus so that we can have freedom. SO THAT WE WON'T SERVE LUCIFER FOREVER, LIKE YOU ARE DOING. We are not to be servants forever, rather we are taking participation in the Godhead as sons of God. You should try it, Ogaga, you should try taking up the life of God and leave that trash you are living, for the dogs like lucifer. Whenever you are ready to give your heart to Christ, let me know. After all, you have nothing to lose if its all a lie. Or are you scared that it may be true?
