BTW, entertainment during burials isn't about christianity, its more of a cultural thing as it is done by most people in Nigeria irrespective of their religious inclinations.

Pangea: I get more amazed daily at the ignorance of many dumb cret.ins posing as Mr. Know All on nairaland
Many just use their good for nothing hands to type rubbish, inviting more sorrow into their lives, what makes me mad is the fact that many of these people are professing that they are christians or from such homes. Its rare to find a muslim attacking any facet of their mode of worship but these omo ale will always find something rotten to write about their faith!
To the topic,
Prayer is an expression of the soul trying to contact its maker, its a way of communicating with the spiritual, its a cry for help from above.
There are many instances and inferences in the bible where passionate prayers were demonstrated and which you may call getting physical with prayers:

Jesus was praying in the garden of Gethsemane for the cup to go over him and the bible recorded that his sweat was as thick as blood,such prayers are not ordinary, it must have been physical for him to be sweating like that in an open and cold garden before dawn.

Another example is Elijah, after the bloody power play with the prophets of Baal on mount carmel,
He wanted to pray for rain and the bible recorded that he sat on the ground and put his head between his laps to pray!
I'm sure many on Nairaland seeing such prayers would have called him mad, but Elijah prayed such acrobatic prayers and got results.

No wonder unusual things are no longer working with prayers again, because many new generation christians always attack what they don't understand.
I rest my case!

In total support.

To each his own. As long as it satisfies their desires. Just because you don't fancy something, others shouldn't do it. I'm against excessive spending but if a life has been well lived, by all means, celebrate it.

Wish I wasn't reading this when I was trying to eat. *heading to the bathroom to puke my guts out*

Are you for real?

Op, thanks for the info.

Just a confirmation of what we always knew. Or is there anyone who can claim to be surprised by this?

Thank God that he spared your life. I would have been happier if something had been done about the guy that was shot. I'ts good to think about people in worse conditions than ourselves. Sometimes God saves us so we can save others. The altruistic nature of Nigerians is fast fading. I hope the poor guy had help on time.

It's a pity. Guess the woman is in a daze right now. She will have to come to terms with the death of her husband and the realization that she was the cause. Domestic violence should never be condoned. It leaves too much bitterness and regrets behind. BTW, the charge should be manslaughter not murder.

vizion: or maybe chatting/texting/pinging on her mobile, or checking out her looks in through her reflection from the car.

Really doubt that....

She may not have been under the influence of anything, more likely she was troubled......, something else completely took over her attention at that moment. Sometimes shiiit happens, doesn't mean it happens all the time.

No b-l-oo-dy way! Die for a man who will be crying at my grave with his girlfriend? I dey madt?

Its nice to hear how the thugs beat him up, how he is the victim but what did he do to merit such reactions? Just a minor row...?

I've used tecno t6, infact still using it. Tecno is a good phone. My in law has used t3 and n3 and i must confess both compare favourably with Samsung. I'm going to buy the n3 soon.

Very, very funny.

pendusky: Ju-mong seasnn 1, the movie seem interesting! Though saw its Season Eight, am sure it will take me 8months to finish it! no time!! One Episode each night is enough!

I'm re-watching it now. Watched it 2010. It's very interesting though. The intrigues of a power craving family.Take your time,after that find other dramas by the same actor, you will love em.

Whatever else you may say of him, Baba is shrewd, intelligent and a strong nationalist. Besides, he really loves Nigeria.
