Tunde835:I'm just enquiring if ladies can list any benefits apart from financial gestures that they have attained from any male. Truth is more often than not males have come across as stressed fellows with not much upstairs. What else can a guy offer? |
Westernlove:Modified Just like women, men also possess the capacity to offer emotional support and fulfill emotional needs, which can be considered their strength; however, it is not a universal trait. While some men lack the ability to fulfill emotional needs, they express their care and support through financial gestures and consider it their strong suit. Additionally, there are some men who excel at providing both financial support and fulfilling emotional needs. Men have distinct ways of showcasing their values to their partners, as each man has his own capacity and ability. Nigerian men and Western men have distinct approaches. Western men often provide emotional support for their partners, and many also offer financial support. On the other hand, many Nigerian men may not be as adept or accustomed to meeting women's emotional needs. Consequently, they tend to rely on financial support as an alternative means of showing care and expressing their values to their partners. It is unrealistic to expect any individual, regardless of gender, to be attracted to someone who is burdensome or lacks any qualities or offerings. Though, true attraction and compatibility extend beyond surface-level qualities and involve deeper emotional connections and shared values. People are naturally drawn to others based on a range of qualities, characteristics, and interactions. These can include intelligence, sense of humor, kindness, confidence, ambition, personal preferences, compatibility, shared interests, values, personal traits, communication skills, physical chemistry, and emotional connection, among others. When a man identifies certain qualities or characteristics in a woman that align with his preferences and perceives her as a potential partner, he may employ a range of methods to capture her interest. These methods can include pleading with her to accept him and offering significant financial gestures and gifts, all in an attempt to stand out from other men who may also be interested in her, with the ultimate goal of fostering a deeper connection. |
2loadedguy:Baba, since you have experienced this with all the Nigerian women you have met, you are the one with the problem. Work on yourself. |
The only honour our Lord Jesus Christ refuses is the honour of hypocrites. Matthew 15:8 - This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. John 5: 23, 41, 42 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 41 I receive not honour from men. 42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. Colossians 3:16 - Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Ephesians 5:19 - Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Psalm 47:1 - O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. Psalm 149:3 - Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. Psalm 150:4 - Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Revelation 5:13 - And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. |
Verse 23 of John 5 seems very interesting, I just read it. John 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. |
Kobojunkie:. |
I am a worshipper of Christ. After studying the Bible properly, I ascertain that the God described in the Bible is undoubtedly the true and only God. Although God created us in His own image, we do not possess the same nature and abilities as God. Let's reduce our pride and understand that it is impossible for we the creatures to constrain our creator to a box and use our human understanding to predict His nature and ways. His nature is supernatural and His ways are mysterious to the limited human minds. To us, a day may be just 24 hours, but in the eyes of God, a day is like a thousand years. To us, husbands and wives may appear as two separate individuals but in the eyes of God, they are considered as one entity. To us, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit may appear as three distinct persons, but in reality, they are one. His supremacy, power, and knowledge is far beyond our limited human understanding because our finite human minds are not capable of comprehending the extent of His sovereignty. |
Oxfordgrade:I hope the verses I listed below will give you a better understanding of who Jesus is and why we worship Him. Genesis 1:26 — And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. John 1:1-3 — 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:14 — And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Psalm 110:1 — The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Mark 12:36 — For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. John 10:30 — I and the Father are one. John 14:6–7 — 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. John 14:11— Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. John 17:11— And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. Matthew 28:19 — Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Matthew 2:1-2 — 1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. Revelation 1:17-18 — 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. |
Jashub:Well said |
A person's personality is not necessarily determined by their tribe. I remember when an Igbo guy once told me that if a Yoruba woman's wrapper is thrown into the river, all the fish in the river will die. It wasn't his fault; people often assume that I'm Igbo. I didn't comment on it and just changed the subject. Weeks later, during a conversation with him, my best friend (who is an Igbo lady), and two of my colleagues, he found out that I am Yoruba. After that day's conversation led to my best friend mentioning that I'm Yoruba, the guy started acting awkward and uncomfortable around me. One day, I confronted him and explained that he hadn't insulted me directly, and it would be unreasonable for me to be angry. I also acknowledged that I'm not a saint and that there are times when I judge people based on their tribes. |
GreatVocalist:I don't agree with what the bride did. Her reaction shows that she lacks manners and self-control. However, the truth is that some mother-in-laws deserve such daughter-in-laws. The woman met her match, mother-in-laws like this only know how to take advantage of their humble and respectful daughter-in-laws. Was it necessary for the mother-in-law to slap the bride? What has slap ever solved? |
Majesty7:🤣 70 years old man. Pele o ancestor. |
Majesty7:See this peppered rat o. This one has gone off point. What do you know we are talking about? Your type can never read and comprehend, yet your hands are always itching you to comment. |
Offpoint1:Lol, defend my religion. I am serving the living God of Heaven. God is all-powerful, I don't have to defend my religion or God, my role as a believer is to uphold and spread His teachings and values. The Bible does not instruct believers to defend their faith with meaningless arguments, but rather encourages them to live according to their faith and avoid engaging in fruitless debates or arguments that can lead to division and misunderstanding (Titus 3:9). Were those wicked or 'pissed up' employees actually living with the new employees like you assumed? The answers you seek are in my previous comment, but you won't see it because you have hardened your heart. I can only put you in my prayers. I pray that God Almighty opens your heart to understanding. Do have a nice day! |
Offpoint1:The Bible states that the serpent deceived Adam and Eve. However, it does not state that satan ever visited or resided in the Garden of Eden. The serpent that deceived Adam and Eve was just a serpent, it was not satan. It is believed that satan influenced or proposed the serpent to carry out his deception and it is commonly understood that the serpent was just used as a tool by satan to deceive Adam and Eve. Does robotic engineers ask their robots how they wish they were created? Some robotic engineer even created robots that have the ability to take actions and make choices and can be used for various tasks, these robots are called intelligent robots. Most creators have their own customized design. God created us just the way He wanted to create us. He did not create human beings like robots, He created human beings with free will, allowing them to make our own choices and decisions. By placing the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden and permitting that they get deceived, God gave Adam and Eve a choice to obey or disobey Him. Without this choice, Adam and Eve would have been essentially like robots, predetermined to do only what God had intended for them. I have observed that you seem more interested in debating rather than seeking information. Therefore, I will not answer further questions as it may not yield any meaningful results. I pray that the God of truth will help you to see the light. |
Offpoint1:Just as we are creatures of God, angels are also God's creatures, and thus we both represent the employees in my previous comment. Both humans and angels were sent out of God's sight after they sinned, but God came to the world to rescue us. To whom much is given much, much is expected. God made angels higher than human beings by granting them more power and understanding. God expected perfection from them, but the devil and other fallen angels not only wished to be equal with God, but also wanted to overthrow Him. To better illustrate my point, suppose both your higher and lower rank employees were involved in the coup. If the higher rank staffs were still very proud and not sober but the lower rank staffs were not proud or stubborn and they were sober, ready to admit their fault and seek forgiveness because they were simply influenced and deceived by the higher rank staffs. They were never interested in overthrowing you but rather wanted to move up the ranks. As a good boss, you would be more likely to forgive the lower rank staffs since they were not the masterminds and did not act out of malice. You might decide to place them on probation and allow them to prove their loyalty before bringing them back into your company. However, the higher rank staff who masterminded the coup and acted out of pride and malice would be held to a higher level of accountability and would require a more severe punishment. It is true that God knows the end from the beginning, but He has given us different options and designed the end for each option, just as the North, South, West, and East have different designed destinations. We were created with the ability to make moral choices, but we are not robots and we have the power to refuse to do what is right. |
Offpoint1:Everything was so peaceful in the beginning. God created everything with love and showed love to all His creatures. He loved His angels and human beings so much that He gave them freewill, power, and authority. He did not create them like robots; He gave them the freedom to make decisions. However, upon all the love and kindness He showed to us some angels and humans rebelled against Him and tried to use the freedom and power He gave against Him. God made man a little lower than the angels and crowned Him with glory and honour. He gave man freewill to make decisions and authority over plants and animals. Plants and animals are far below us, they don't have freewill, authority or power. Humans had everything they needed. Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, enjoying it all. It is hard to understand why they wanted to be equal with God. Why is man so wicked, greedy and covetous? Liking this to yourself, if you have a company and you happen to be a nice boss and you find out your employees are trying to kill you and take away your company, won't you punish them severely? Would you smile with them, hug them or ask them to go in peace? In fact, God is so loving and kind that He pardoned us for such a rebellious act and still sent His son to rescue us. God is not to be blamed, our actions led us to this point. Human beings are inherently wicked; they are just so wicked on their own. Don't you think we are the problem? Is it God that is inventing all the wickedness in the world today? Now that God has left us to ourselves, what are we doing to ourselves? |
IkeIgboNiile:If it was reflex action that led to the slap, it means she has a wrong mentality and that mentality has to be changed. Do you know how much effort we left-handed people put in just to respect you people's view? I have to be at alert anytime I want to give something to someone because I have to move the thing from my left-hand to my right-hand. We go through that much just to respect your views, what will stop you from respecting our rights? We are full human beings, not half-humans. I will not intentionally give something to someone with my left-hand, not because I accept their views but because I have learnt to also respect other people's views. People need to stop violating our rights as equal humans. |

Rayban25:Public penis. So you don't see anything wrong with the Op emphasizing on purity and virginity alone and preaching it to only ladies? List the importance of virginity to the society and in marriage. There are several laws in the Bible. Virginity is not righteousness. By the way, I'm still a virgin but I'm yet to see any physical benefit of virginity. |
jeromestarks:Virginity preacher, what is the importance of virginity in the society and in marriage? |
gfon: Like do you get |
Rrchrd:That is how people jump into conclusion. When I have a business that is bringing me money, why do I need my bf's money? Educate yourself, not all relationship is about money. |
djon78:A lot of times we Christians deceive ourselves. Isaac saw Rebecca and liked her, God did not force her on him. The best thing to do is look for someone that is compatible with you and take the person to God in prayer. Virgins have to learn to put their virginity aside and bring something meaningful to the table. I am also a virgin but I don't wear it on my forehead. I don't have a problem with ladies deciding to be full housewives but they should look for someone that appreciate them as a motivator and not a contributor. Someone that wants to eat bean will not appreciate rice even if you convince him to eat rice. Op wants someone that is resourceful, why advice him to marry someone that is not? |
CaptainRogers:Thank you. |
Typing:Oya take it and go and sleep. |
Typing:Mr therapist did my bf cry to you. Please, focus on your own relationship and stop taking panadol for another person headache. |
Shedrack777:See this one o. If I use my left-hand beat, you go just pass out. |
Runnerzz:You might be right. My bf and I want to get married soon. Maybe his mother doesn't want me to be her daughter-in-law anymore and is just trying to pull a fast one on me. She might be concerned about the age difference between me and my bf and be pretending not to care. I am twenty-seven years old and my bf is twenty-three. The day she discovered my age, she just acted surprised and told me I don't look my age. She did not show any signs that indicated she was concerned about our age difference. |
Abolodje:Lol. Brother Bernard, you even call God on top. Na your type dey full prison. |
Typing:That why I only deal with mature men. |

Like do you get
