Prayers as religion put it can do anything, we also read that it can move the mountains.

Religious people talk about prayers as if it cures all kind of diseases, if prayer is meant to calm the body then I've no argument with that as it is not different from mediating, listening to music or stories etc, so nothing special about prayers, you're the one making it seems it's special which is the bases of my argument.

If prayers work then no religious people should be in hospitals, if God is said to listen to all prayers and prayers can do everything, I see no reason anyone should be in hospitals.

There are people who don't pray and they are cured. Medication has proven to be very effective.

Religion gives hope to the people, it's like an opium, a fantasy people lean on, I think that part is a good service of religion but at the end majority people still go for medications because they "know" it's more effective.

Like I said we can demonstrate that prayers don't work.

Pray for 20 patients without medications.

And give 20 patients medications without prayers and see it result.

I Want To Make This Clear. It Really Doesn't Matter Where Your Partner Is Coming From, Whether Or Not Your Parents Warned You About The Tribe. Someone's Tribe Has Nothing To Do With Their Behaviour. Just Pray And Ask God For A Better- Half, Someone Who Is Really The One For You. And Forget About Backward Mentality Of Parents.

I'm being sarcastic. Op won't even dare such.

This is a simple sturv. All you have to do is invite the girl's father and her mother to your house or for a dinner so that they can both tell you the two sides of the story.

my brother, you have a point,but if the parents are igbos , they should understand the important of the questions if they really want their daughter to get married.
You don't know how Igbo people behaves whenever you want to settled down with your spouse ..
Bro , I know what I saw when I wanted to settled down..
Bro, if you're married or you're an Igbo, u will understand what me..
Sometimes, they will frustrate the couple to the extent of abandoning the traditional marriage but the parents will advised you to calm down cos all will be well.

sassysure:
Do u know some women just don't feel it?
I'm surprised she is not ripping that man apart.
Hmm.
I don't wanna go deep.
Marriage is more than holding on till your approved timeline.

I give it to this guy. He has tried. Most men won't go this far.
Church my foot.

If he take this lady anywhere whether court or to meet her people, he is gonna floor her hands down.

She want to use that as testimony to satisfy her pastor.
So she dont care if she hurt the man or not.
Godly woman kò.

Chigold101:
This is why I stopped responding to him because he is a special case. I suggested to OP that if all known medical tests and treatment has failed, he should seek spiritual help through prayers and the narrow minded guy just jumped in and say prayers don't work.

I also didn't want to respond to him on the issue plane I raised because I doubt if he has ever entered an airplane and if he has, he has never been in a plane where pilot could not land the plane for over an hour.

Please continue to school him

what's there to discussed about failed relationship that didn't works well.
Bro , in an igboland , investigation and enquiries is very necessary to both parents of the couple, when my wife wanted to marry me, she asked all necessary questions including if I am OSU ? I laughed out loud cos I know I am not OSU. The family of my wife traveled to my village to do a background checkup..
Anyway, it's necessary cos a lot had happened.
Op should do a background checkup but have it in mind that sometimes history does not repeat itself..

peepydelano:
You are having a very good lady as your wife,count yourself very lucky.Why not fast forward your white wedding and have free access, and its not a big deal if she turns out not to be a virgin,appreciate the fact that she's God fearing. Respect her Godly wish and wait for the abundant blessings that follows,she is blessed amongst women

marvin905:
what type of fvcked up mentality is this..
just because her parents are separated it automatically means Same will happen to her..
are you well

OP if you know you don't want to marry the girl better let her go.. before you start using her parents breakup as a yard stick to marry her or not

highbee02:
aa

u are a gud analyst

AkhereOkaka:
A woman is legally your wife as soon as bride price is paid(traditional rite has been done), with or without church wedding, we must not that without payment of bride price the so called church wedding cannot hold, op when she told you no sex until wedding night did you ask her wether traditional or white wedding?

I used malaria as an example of how medicine are more effective than prayers.

Medicine has been proven several times to work, prayers on the other has never been proven to work.

We can demonstrate that by using 20-20 patients.

You said prayers calm the body of patients, yes you maybe right here but it doesn't mean it cures, and not only prayers does this work, meditations, music, anything that calms the body does this work.

Most people pray because majority populations are religious so that makes most people in hospitals religious, this is irony, religious people shouldn't be in hospitals if prayer works.

Martinez39:
Where do you stand? First, you said the man is not respecting the deal but now you indirectly admit that he kept the deal but she backed out at the last minute. Where do you stand?

His only hope is to stop playing love and enforce no sex, no white wedding. If she refuses, he kicks her out ASAP. If she accepts and he finds out that she is not a virgin, she lied and she should be kicked out. The other problem is how he will get his bride price back.

Martinez39:
They are already married. To deny him sex is to deprive him of his right. He is entitled to the pussy since he paid her bride price. If his wife won't do the needful, he should send her out ASAP and collect his money.

Wuzyurdaddy:
Old folks still cop their partner's sexual organ.

I had a beautiful discussion with my pops yesterday.

tintingz:
If you pray alone for malaria cure, you have 2-5% chance you will be cured but if you take anti-malaria drug you have 98% you will get cured.

Prayer has never proven to work. Without prayers we can still advanced in the medical fields and heal people.
