Hahahahahahahaha

When he said it I thought he didn't hear the question well as Quest pointed out, but then it wasn't an excusable gaffe as it has been trending since...
At lest the Minister of Trade & investment bailed us out.

I would love to see Joshua win, but against klitschko? Let's wish him luck.

Is that not the brother to the klitschko that "decommissioned" our Samuel Peter?

Ps:
I am enormously pleased Joshua won.

In the voice of Ukwa, Now we can claim relationship.

funmisticqueen:
he has already apologised and i wasnt talking to you. So please swerve. Part of being brilliant is being able to learn from anyone and anything. I am not in the mood to insult anyone this night, dont make me change my mind and start with you.

Yea, that should come naturally too.

I guess op was right after all.

funmisticqueen:
i am telling you that i dont understand something you said and you should explain to me and you decide to insult me. we are colleagues, if i dont know something, i would rather admit that i don't and not let ego get in the way. I didnt say anything to insult you. But since you told me to mind my level i will. Even though i know big grammar and eloquent speech, i would rather use simple language. If you have time go through my posts, i am also an intellectual being. Gooday

Is this not the very attitude this OP is talking about?

You could at lest google those words he used, which you don't understand rather than this.

Remember girls are "naturally more brilliant."

MrsAdadinmma:
Both of you surely did not read al through!

You dumbheads just come to the comment section and started making claims of Feminism.
Rea through again and point out your assertions. Don't be sily

It's obvious you are out to insult.
Or you think insulting will add value to your article?

Addressing such issues as highlighted in your article needs a neutral stance as being biased either way won't cut it.

Besides, the Caveat that this thread is for ladies only is not tenable as the task of child nurture and training is not the exclusive preserve of the woman, or is it?

Though the op used Igbo culture as a case study, varying versions of it applied to other Nigerian ethnic groups.

Our problem is criminalizing our cultural norms in preference to European ones.

Obasanjo, who said Jonathan deceived him that he would not give Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke the petroleum portfolio in his cabinet was deceived into believing that he could use money to buy the 2015 presidential election.

I can relate to that, it syncs with what Sen Akpabio said back then, "what money can not do, more money can do" and later on, "What more money cannot do God takes over."

None of us have power of choice over our sex so why should a particular gender be accorded with a higher reputation than the other even when the female gender is naturally more brilliant.

Another biased feminist.
How different are you from the male ego you are dissing?

I thought feminism is about equal rights and opportunities for the female folk but it is more like usurp the male role and put him down.

@bolded, make that "naturally more beautiful."

Why should we care?
The society is no longer run on masculinity, feminism has taken over, so testosterone is no longer sexy but estrogen is.

How do women expect effeminate men to deliver in the other room?

Anyways, Why would I take atm printout when I will get an SMS?

As for supermarket printout, it does not get past the shop waste bin.

Freewill only exist to the extent of obeying and working within the confines of laws contained in the Bible/Koran.

How free is your freewill when you can't question some things that are said to be sacrosanct?

That is exactly what is happening right now in my area with a little twist, since after the transformer was fixed (by community effort) blowing bolbs/appliances is trending.

TonyeBarcanista:
On the contrary, Tinubu is a force to be reckoned with and a material any sane mind will want to have.

Hahahahahahahahaha

I like the way you put it.
the bad news is there is only one Tinubu right now in Nigerian political landscape playing for Team APC.

Who is the Presidency?

Rueben Abati's treatise on this question makes more sense than this conspiracy theory.

It is all about 2019, I hope Tinubu survives the impending onslaught without getting hurt. I also hope Bola Tinubu join forces with the opposition in the nearest future

I couldn't help but note the bolded, an admission that as long as Tinubu is not in the opposition, APC will still win the Presidency.

Pato23:
The Bible forbids one seeing the unclothedness of a sister,a brother,a mother and a father. It can be generalise,you know The Bible makes use of a part to represent the whole(what I was thought in the Seminary). So,I think cousins are inclusive.
.
Let me introduce you to what I found in studying the Bible...;
"God made Adam in his own Image,Liked him and blessed him".
But he later came back and took something-a rib- from him. I dont really think that it was the biological rib we know. If one's rib is remove,hope you know that the absence will be felt. Thats exactly what God took from Adam,made him a Woman and the two were bonded in Marriage.
God forbids us from having Pre-Marital sex,do you know why..?
'I think' sex is more of spiritual significance than the Physical pleasure. I also think that sex reminds God of the Adam that was complete-without a missing rib. Sex,just like circumcision was used to mark the covenant with Abraham,is use by God to demonstrate the true nature of His Adam before Eve. Reason why Jesus said Man and Woman will join to become one....
.
Waiting to hear you own view on it....

I understand, as a seminarian you were taught to think and understand the Bible in a certain way, that conforms to the church doctrines.

To follow up on the marriage thing, I bet you are well Versed with the story of Abraham and his wife, Sarah.
Do I need to point out she was a "sister" from a different mother but same father with Abraham?
You see what I meant?

God didn't forbid any premarital sex, it's the church fathers that wrote or compiled the Bible that did.
God's order to "multiply" cannot be interpreted in the narrow sense of procreation being confined to marriage.
Yes there are advantages in raising children under parental care, but not in sense marriage is presented.

You know what?
That act of circumcision can also be construed as a blood pact between Abraham and God. Right?

We are told Jesus came to fulfill the law, did he fulfill the law of joining with a woman to become one?

Yes, sex may have spiritual significance because that is the point man is at union, not just the lady but with all aspects of himself, enabling him donate a rib (sperm) for a new being to be created.

Pato23:
Yes I am a Catholic and I was born a Catholic and I wont begin researching why I should quit being one since Salvation is not according to where you worship but How you Worship.
It was during the reign of Constantine that the Bible was compiled(it was written before his reign) and that Bible is purely making reference to the Divine Nature of Christ only,so thats why things are like this. But for me,I think the Bible should have contain the Human Nature of Christ too. Atleast his human nature will teach us more than the divine nature.
I understand where you are driving at....
At a tender age Jesus followed his parent to the Jewish Temple for the Jewish Rite of Presentation(when he was of age). He did that as a Jew. But,after his Baptism,he began preaching anywhere and everywhere. In temples and synagogues,the Bible has not made reference to wether it was Pagan Temples but it speaks of Temples. Hope you get my point.
And you wont tell me that all the temples at that time belong to Christianity.
.
Delibrate on this..; Do you think that Christ really die a Virgin as we think when his Father introduce the institution of Marriage..? Cos,for me He should have been the model husband for all husbands.....just my point of view.

Same would also apply if you were born into a Pentecostal, Evangelical, Anglican, or Muslim family.

You know what, your Catholicism is in doubt for holding such views or asking such questions.

I dey joke ooo.

@bolded, that as you rightly pointed out is the human aspect of Jesus that the Bible fails to enlighten us about. But other gospels that were banned from the Bible talks about such things.

It's just like when I read Genesis 2:23 - 25

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Pay close attention to bolded, it seems it was inserted later, to add weight and credence to the notion that marriage was instituted by God in Eden.
Besides the wife here is not specified whether she is your sister, cousin, aunt, or just any lady of one's choosing.

Sammiejokes:
I put the question to you, what is your purpose in life? only vision less humans seat down, rest, do nothing and wait to die. some will prefer that even while dying, let me do something. Maybe Buhari has chosen his own path, only time will tell.

Let me borrow words from 50cent, PMB is determined to fix Nigeria or die trying. And I stand by him whichever way.

Pato23:
I am a Catholic...
I dont believe in Religion but I believe in God. I dont know God,but I have faith in him.
What I'll say about what the op posted is that....Jesus came as our Lord and Saviour,He did not come as some one who brought Religion. So,to ask the question,which Religion did Jesus practice,is not correct technically.
.
Hope you get my point.

Let me use you as an example, you are a Catholic, right? How?
Were you born with it or into it?

The point is, before Jesus was ascribed "Lord and Saviour" he was brought up in a family that probably subscribed to a particular religion or form of worship, which is what this OP is about; Because our first religion is always our parents.

Ps:
From my research, Christianity as practiced now was not created by Jesus only ascribed to him, but was created by Eusebius by the authority of Emperor Constantine.

zionmade:
If u are an atheist d word spiritually blind, deaf and dumb shudnt mean anything to u. Its never an insult to call an atheist son of devil because he doesn't believe in any of those things. So be a true atheist u re.
I carefully choose my words.
It will be a waste of time arguing upandan with an atheist. I prefer physical approach because it gives me d opportunity to look into his eyes and command d devil of spiritual blindness to go

Same ol' same

What has atheist got to do with the questions I asked?

It simply shows you have lost the argument and now grasping at your joker: name calling.

Mrchippychappy:
Judas was unclean right from the start.


“Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!” (John 6:70)


The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.” (Matt. 26:24)


Even my close friend, whom I trusted, he who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.(John 13:18)


It could have very well happened that the Pharisees themselves would have reported Jesus Christ to the Romans and the Romans would have crucified him if the Pharisees had brought up enough evidence. Read the bible properly Judas DIDN'T HAVE TO BETRAY JESUS CHRIST, he wasn't brainwashed, he had freewill and he volunteered to betray Jesus Christ. The purpose of the pharisees choosing an "inside man" to betray his leader was to destroy the foundation of the disciples and Christianity in the bigger picture but as with most plans of man, their plan failed woefully. The pharisees were more than capable of swaying the roman council to execute Jesus christ BUT they wanted to ridicule the followership of Christ and sow the seed of discord among the disciples and so they decided to use one of the disciples to betray his leader, unfortunately for them it didn't work.

@bolded, Can you sense an element of self destruction?

He hired a devil, because only that devil will help him attain eternal glory.

zionmade:
I sense am talking with a spiritually dead man, AKA unbeliever.
I dnt expect u to understand anything because d word of God says u re spiritually blind, deaf and dumb, no understanding.

zionmade:
D fulfillment of dat prophecy was not dependent on d lepers d same way d death of Jesus was not dependent on Judas.
If God needs a man to leave d earth, and u go and kill dat man, bro u d blood will be on ur head even though u wud think dat u helped God achieve dat purpose. D job is for d devil and if u allow d devil use u, u will answer for it

Does it mean a "Christian" like you can't share in an argument without resorting to insults?

So according to your spiritual sight, how would God achieve what he wanted on earth without human agency?

Who is the devil assigned to do God's work?

kateskitty:
Judas could have still repented after betraying Jesus, but because​ he fell into despair his soul was lost forever.
Even Peter betrayed Jesus by denying him yet he repented and received mercy.

Who told you his soul was lost forever?

If you care to understand more than what you are told in church check out these documentaries.

zionmade:
He died as a sacrifice. Joel, Isaiah, David, Jeremiah all gave their prophecies about his death. But not one of dem mentioned dat he would be betrayed by Judas.
For example God said dat d economic situation of Israel would turn around in 24hrs but it was still d lepers dat made their own deliberate choice to go and look for food in d camp of d enemies.
Judas made his choice.
D bible says God is not unjust and dat is final for me

@bolded, you don't understand what sacrifice means?
How can he "died as sacrifice"?
Meaning he killed himself?

Anything that is sacrificed is killed by another.

OK, without the lepers, would that prophecy be fulfilled? Same with Judas or whoever that would have opted to play that role.

I believe why Judas committed suicide was because he carried out Jesus' instructions, which is hinted at by "what you have to do, do it fast," only for the master to be captured.

I also believe the Judas story was embellished to give the impression we have.

Other gospels (of Judas, Philip, etc) gives a different version of the Jesus story.

Eusebius, the man that selected what should or shouldn't be in the compilation we call bible, did a good job crafting the Bible to suit Emperor Constantine's desire to merge Christianity into Mithraism for political and religious expediency.

FearFactor1:
in as much as Judah was instrumental in the dead of Christ, all he has to do was repent of his ways. Instead he went ahead to take his life.

Suicide in its own is a sin, so there was no saving his soul.

How are you so sure?
I thought it's the body that dies and the soul returns. Does suicide kill the soul?

pacino26:
Judas was the first to commit against the Holy Spirit, he rejected repentance and salvation in the name of the one whom he betrayed. That my dear Op is the main reason most folks stigmatize the name. Remember also the biblical curse upon the one who will betray the son of man.

Yet the son of man must be betrayed to fulfill his destiny, right?

How did you know Judas rejected repentance?
What if He only reseted his chessboard?

zionmade:
Bros i love ur passion in naming ur boy Judas. Its not a bad name though.
But Judas Jesus' disciple was stealing from d purse of Jesus which made him available for use by d devil.
Jesus didn't die because someone betrayed him. Even if no one betrayed him, at d appointed time, he could have still died.

@bolded, how? By suicide or old age, I guess?

Saintsammurai:
Ladies and gentle men, don't be deceived by worldly things, for i have now discovered that putting of bracelets, rings, wedding rings, ear rings, beads, necklaces, leg chains and nose rings is a sin that is condemned in the Bible..

IT is boldly written in Isaiah chapter, verse 16 all the way to 21..

This are what was practise in Sodom and Gomorrah in the days of old.. as it is written in Isaiah 3.
Moreover the Lord says: "Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, And walk with outstretched necks and wanton eyes, Walking and mincing as they go, Making a jingling with their feet.
17:Therefore the Lord will strike with a scab The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, And the Lord will uncover their secret parts.
18:In that day the Lord will take away the finery: The jingling anklets, the scarves, and the crescents.
19:The pendants, the bracelets, and the veils

20:The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands; The perfume boxes, the charms.
21:and the rings; The nose jewels.
It is clearly written, putting them to church is even an abomination..
Do not be deceived into hell..
Do away with all kinds of chains..
cc: lalasticlala mynd44 seun.

How about wearing wrist watches, perfumes?

But is it OK to wear expensive clothes?
No, animal skin was the recommended and approved garment by God in Eden.

Ay04z:
nice write up...but give ur life to Jesus Christ..may God forgive all our sin..

It's what OP is talking about, can you know/experience the joy of Salvation of Jesus and the ecstasy of the vilest form of demon gay sex at the same time?

What OP is trying to articulate is the principle of uncertainty, which states that "the more precisely you measure one quantity, the less precisely you can know another associated quantity."

In this case childhood - adulthood, poverty - wealth, good - evil, foolery - knowledge/wisdom, independence - dependence, hunger - satiety, love - hate, night - day, hot -
cold pairs.

The more you to tend to one side of the pair the less you tend to the other. You can't know/experience both equally at the same time. Those are pairs I came up with it can be a variation of any pair form.

Can you measure the temperature of boiling water and the freezing temperature of that same at the same time?

To know and experience tomorrow you must let go of yesterday, today is just a transition.

I understand the article but not the title.

dukie25:
He sees what he wants to see, pdp members should be the only ones indicted.

As if Magu or Burutai are APC political appointees from the streets.

I don't support PMB because I am APC member, but because I believe he can do better than GEJ.

By the way I am a card carrying member of PDP, which is not necessary.

freeze001:
Lawal was properly invited, there was an acknowledgement of the invitation to his office which Sani mentioned while addressing their crappy clearance letter on the floor of the Senate. He chose not to honour their invitation so how is that the fault of the Senate?

Read this:

In as much as I side PMB, Nigerian politics is not black and white.

Sani talked about "interim" report that was signed by 3 (7?) members, how many signed the final report?
Was it the interim report or final report that was sent to the President?
