Health / Re: What Is The Best Cure For Insomnia? by Meristem: 2:50am On Mar 19, 2019 |
OBVIOUSLY, the lady's problem is ADDICTION TO ELECTRONIC GADGETS. INSOMNIA is the symptom, not the problem. I can't type all the advice she needs here. But she can get professional help on this. The problem is bigger than she thinks. Thank you. |

Romance / Re: Lady Turns Down Boyfriend's Proposal With Hot Slap At Lagos Mall (video) by Meristem: 12:49pm On Jul 09, 2018 |
vivypretty: and that is how you know "them". Scenario 1: Guy proposes to a girl who thoroughly beats him up. Verdict = there must be a reason for the savagery and violence. Scenario 2: the same exact table is turned, and they all go yelling GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE, BEAST, ANIMAL etc as if one gender has a licence to be as violent as they please. I did not say they should beat you o. But may you be treated likewise whenever he has a "reason" to do so! Iseeee!!! |

Kizyte: Dear Mr (?) Sociologist and Anthropologist, humans are not wired to be mistake-proof. I can bet my annual salary that you have done at least 100 similar things this year without first doing a risk assessment on the possible outcomes. Does that in any way justify being butchered? We are talking of stone-age type violence here, and whether ANYTHING at all should have made a human being visit it on another. Humans should be predictable to the extent of not turning to something below animals once provoked. Such violence against anybody should be condemned by everybody. Remember, what goes around, comes around. |

Kizyte: Bros, your judgment is very spookily interesting. I wonder if this would have been your reaction if the victim of this gruesome savagery was...yes you guessed it...a woman! I have carefully highlighted where you implied that he DESERVED what he got. That you didn't condemn this gruesome violence in the same words you would have used in the other case reeks of crass hypocrisy. No amount of cheating or remarrying, be it of a husband or of a wife - should lead to, or justify, even implicitly, this bestiality. Hypocrite. 1 Like |

Yeecar:God bless you! See how jocularly people discuss VIOLENCE...simply because its against a MAN. I do not hold brief for anyone, but its shameful how spiritedly we deplore "violence against women" (and we really should) while in the same breath, tacitly encourage "violence against men". Violence anywhere is a threat to humanity everywhere. 2 Likes |

Dear Ini, Being a public figure comes at a price, of which their comments is just one. Please get used to it before they drive you nuts!Secondly, anyone who says the dress looks like a wedding dress is not condemning, but merely DESCRIBING it. It is their opinion and they are entitled to it. Thirdly an finally - here's it. I think that dress looks like a wedding dress! Yours truly Meristem 1 Like |

yogun: In fact, statistically, a higher percentage of high budget weddings hit the rocks before their 5th anniversary!!! Cos its often a union of people who have not been able to understand the difference between a Marriage and a Wedding. People whose emphases are on the materials rather than the substance. Even in the scriptural days, once a man offers/pays the bride price of a woman with her consent and the consent of her folks, and her father/guardian/kins hand her over to the man, their marriage is VALID and BLESSED before God and man. Its up to them to decide to solemnize in Church or not. THEY ARE ALREADY HUSBAND AND WIFE MIND YOU. I understand why it is hard to sell this to my fellow Christians , but its the Truth. If you ask these same category of people if a christian wedding celebrated in Buba/Iro/Agbada/Danshiki or other traditional attire is invalid, they will not be able to say yes (cos it has been hard wired in their gullible minds that its coat-and-gown or nothing). If they do say yes, try to ask them "but why are we not doing it?" and see the stoopid expression on their faces! What we call "christian weddings" today are more CULTURAL than RELIGIOUS. Be wise, Oh Africans! 1 Like |

[quote author=Gabygaby][/quote] Na lie. Christian marriages must not be held in Churches. You need to evaluate whether ur thoughts are products of years of puritanical brainwashing or stark rationality. On February 14th every year, we all gallivant around claiming to be celebrating "Valantain Day". Do you know why St Valentine is so celebrated today(albeit in a twisted way by most)? Its because he wedded lovers in SECRET when it was prohibited. THERE IS NO SACRAMENT THAT MUST TAKE PLACE INSIDE A CHURCH TO BE VALID. Quote me on this. If you are so "christian" that you must have white man's wedding format to believe that you're married, then why not drop the traditional rites and stop bleeding your groom's pocket NEEDLESSLY? 3 Likes |

ammyluv2002: Yeah! White & court wedding are just ceremonial. You can decide not to wed in the church but you must perform the traditional rites on a lady before she can be called your wife....is in the bible and as a Christian, I always go with my bible principles not trendy principles. 1000 likes! If not for our copy-copy mentality in Africa/Nigeria, the case should have been such that the couples simply CHOOSE ONE format. But culturally, we seem to have our feet in our mouths - A lady performs the full traditional rites of marriage, and then as if that were invalid, she starts agitating for "white wedding" and I'm like "why white? why not GREEN, PURPLE or BLUE wedding?" We waste money REPEATING the same marriage rites in at least 3 forms, flushing millions of naira down the drain and then complain that there are no husbands or that the economy is bad. Rubbishhhhh Something akin to burying someone traditionally, exhuming him/her and burying them again according to a FOREIGN culture/rite, then exhuming them again and burying them according to yet another tradition.... In fact, we are the only ones who show utter disregard for our own traditions, and utmost respect for others' YEYE 6 Likes |
