home girl: i am a catholic and i must tell you the pope has brought shame on majority of us catholics. even in my church on sunday our preached told us to refrain from sin. so how can pope of all people encourage gay. this is so so bad.

read and use your head my friend.

jmoore: Is telling a rapist that rape is a sin,judging?
Is telling a murderer that murder is a sin, judging?
If you don't say that homosexuality is a sin then you might as well shutup when someone rapes your daughter or kills your mother.

the Pope and the church teaches that homosexuality is a sin.

do u persecute someone for having the tendency to rape or commit adultery/fornication. No. You persecute him for giving in to his tendency to fornicate/lust/rape.

first people are not born gay. it is your environment/experiences that made you gay.
second: even when a hitherto gay person gives his/her life to Christ, the homo-sexual tendencies do not automatically disappear. it is a life-long war against it. you will pray against it and all that. You will fight it and will never lobby for it. accepting urself as one with gay tendencies and not a gay person and realising that you need prayer and discipline.


so it is possible to be a born-again xtian and have gay tendencies. the sin is in giving in to those tendencies. the Pope condemned the sin and the lobbying but did not condemn the tendency.

even for heterosexuals, we fight a life-long war against our tendency to lust. even marriage (heterosexual - homosexual union is not marriage) requires as much discipline as celibacy.

pro01: I think this is a somewhat apt summary of the Pope's message. He rightly rejects the obnoxious lobbying for the rest of us to accept homosexuality as 'normal', but also makes it clear that he does not have the power to judge them -i.e. leaving them to God's judgment.

sometin i like abt U bro is how u can painstakingly assist to provide rational/logical explanations.

i saw the initial comments from peeps and was like hw did we come to this situation where peeps dont bother to read details or read or read with all their bias/prejudice thereby ignoring the main point of a statement.


hw some peeps came abt the fact that the statement meant the pope supports homosexuality baffles me. they were all shouting end time, end time.

hate the sin, not the sinner. but also hate the attempts by the sinners to redefine what is sin or not (lobbying)

~Bluetooth:
If Nigeria was a sane society,that biitch should be spending the rest of her life in jail by now for the agony her useless father caused Nigeria. Very useless set of Mo'r'ons;like father like daughter.

and why should she be in jail for the sins of her father. that doesnt sound sane to me.

igahdavid: YES; Inbuilt car navigational System works in Nigeria. Most of the car's with this inbuilt navigations are either from America or Europe and have American / European maps installed in them. Thats why it seems they dont work in nigeria. You have to first buy a nigerian map for that particular car and load into the navigator before it works in Nigeria

where can one buy a "nigerian map" for a factory fitted navigation on a toyota camry 2009?

take dat: There are many vociferous Yorubas who speak against the Tinubu's and co. But we know how Niger-Deltans kowtow to Jonathan.

We know those who are mired in poverty but will never speak against the president even when he is wrong because he is "their son"

We know those who refused to join in a Nationwide subsidy protest just because their son is the president.

We know those who attack Amaechi for no reason and call him a betrayer just because he befriends South Westerners and Northerners.

Everyone knows how clannish, cheap and bigoted you lots are. I don't blame you sha, na too much kain kain!

my friend stop insulting people. how many Niger-deltans do you know before your hasty generalisation.

in evry tribe, there are people who will fell satisfied because their "son" is in power and those who dont care. you dont/cant have the breakdown in numbers. so the same thing you say about Niger-deltans could be applied to you and your tribe too

Pataki: There is surely no way this foolish man that is the President will avoid spending the remaining part of his years in jail.

Ibori, don't worry. Your brother will soon come and join you.

Jonathan and his hippopotamus wife's hands are heavily soaked in blood! Their end I can predict will be the worst this nation has ever seen or experienced.

their end might be the worst but it would not be justified as Nigeria has had much worse presidents.

i dont like GEJ but you are taking this too personal.

i am not looking for a kpmg job but when i took that link and put it on google, i saw that there is a fot.com.ng site.

then add the candidate prefix and voila!! here's your site:

can we see a picture of the 2010 model.

how much?
also this looks like 2009 not 2011

Opey4luv: This is really really getting too much in Nigeria. It was the Jehovva witness the other day, can you imagine that, a preacher for that matter, going around with condom. Well I am not suprised, the two scriptures said by the END times, we shall see many FAKE men of God.

please tell me what makes him fake. most churches except the catholic church have nothing against condoms & contraceptives for married couples. do U know if he was married.

hey!!! rationality is gradually been thrown out d window in naija. wahala dey o.

i have a lot of respect for General Buhari esp because of his intolerance for corruption but I have to admit he got it wrong this time.

if the insecurity is as bad as he paints it, then this is the worst time for the President to resign as it will give Boko both a moral victory and result in a retrogression in the fight against Boko.

Buhari should simply wait till 2015 when Nigerians will decide whether to elect him or not. this statement is making him look too desperate.

i cant understand why peeps equate cultural idiosyncrasies with backward mentality.

in Nigeria how are you is not accepted from junior to elder. live with it and stop calling it a backward mentality. I would accept that from my western colleagues but not from a nigerian bred in nigeria.

You know westerners see how was your night as rude even though we have no issue with it in naija. different strokes for different folks eh. it is not about being backward.

nony30: Thank you for being reasonable.But the issue here is that most often times some house owners will always give reasons such as this here τ̲̅ȍ recover their properties in disguise that they want τ̲̅ȍ use Į̸̸̨ƭ just τ̲̅ȍ obtain the sypathy of a reasonable tenant only for them τ̲̅ȍ double the rent and give Į̸̸̨ƭ out τ̲̅ȍ another desperate tenant willing τ̲̅ȍ pay.People like this are exactly why Fashola had τ̲̅ȍ look into this kind of cases which occur once too often for mere coincidences.
So I guess my pain was bourne out of my feelings for the unfortunate tenant about τ̲̅ȍ be put under pressure τ̲̅ȍ relocate. Same thing happened τ̲̅ȍ my friend only for another τ̲̅ȍ pay a 50% increase τ̲̅ȍ take the place.And when approached the Landlord said that was the easiest legal way τ̲̅ȍ get his house back.Τ̲̅ȍ lie!!

do you understand what an agreement is?

if u paid for one yr rent with a one yr agreement, the agreement expires after one year so the landlord could triple his rent for all he cares or sell to the highest bidder. it's not ur business.

what you should have done is to involve ur own lawyer in the drafting of the original agreement.

ActiveMan: @op YOU HAVE CLICK A LINK SOMEWHERE AND HACKERS HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET INTO YOUR ACCOUNT, THE BANK WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THIS, CHECK THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS YOU SIGN WHEN YOU APPLY FOR THE ONLINE BANKING...

the secure token he has is what makes the bank liable. the bank needs to investigate to prove that he did the transaction

Halldmoney: So slaughtering her is the answer How are we so sure you are not the man using NL inside cell?[b][/b]

do you even take time to red the guys point before answering. your response shows you dont understand what he means.

what OP said is true but it is a bad mentality for a woman to have except u are really convinced u dont want to marry.

i have met someone with this kind of mentality but 7 yrs later she now wants to get married and has suddenly become desperate. she is 36.


my point is that if u are a feminist and not interested in marriage, please be consistent. cos usually, it becomes more difficult for women to marry with increasing age. Men who initially werent interested in marriage can change their mind all of a sudden and still be able to settle down despite age.

i do all 7 for ladies i am not interested in.

this rules dont work all d time

ijawkid: Xmas has always been what it is from its iÑception......pagan all the way and §atanic........nothing you gu.ys do can change it.......

Abeg which early chri§tians u deÝ talk about for your comment??.......which ones??.......thÉ pseudo ones wey Ðey worship images or the ones wey we kÑow from thÉ scriptures.......because as we know the Çelebration of xmas Ño even exist among early christians.....

World pipo nor go read comment well before dem type. The guy was saying tat early xtians were scared on dat day as it was a pagan worship day. He never said early xtians celebrated it.

i never knew there were two early xtians or that one faction was worshiping images.

rationality and objectivity is not so elusive.

mr.official2:
He didn't say anything is wrong with what the pope did. He only pointed out that it looks gay, which I also agree with him.

I agree with you and this is one of my problems with homosexuality: it will redefine human relations.

before we (Nigerians) understood what homosexuality was about, this action would not have been mis-connoted. I tell U, a time will come when U might be thot to be gay because u hug a fellow guy.

i hear some countries have already defined marriage as a union between two people in love.

the way people believe all dis nonsense. hw can you know it was a range rover and did not pursue or get the plate number.

ritualist dump bodies in the rivers not on express roads

daviesore: please do not move from the main issue.
1. the girl used Hijab in School at what time?
2. is the use of Hijab a criminal offence?
3. DOES THE USE OF HIJAB POSE ANY MORAL THREAT TO THE SCHOOL AND ALL OTHER STUDENTS?
4. IS THE USE OF CANE ALLOWED IN SCHOOL, IF YES AT WHAT LEVEL OF OFFENCE?
5. IF THIS GIRL WAS CAUGHT HAVING SEX IN THE SCHOOL(AS WE WITNESSED IN MANY GOV. SCHOOL) WILL SHE BE HUMILIATED LIKE THAT?
6. the principal saw her and called an emergency assembly,WHY? IS IT TO BRAND HER A TERRORIST, CREATE FEAR IN HER AGAINST ISLAM, CREATE FEAR IN OTHER STUDENTS?
7. WHY WAS SHE PUBLICLY FLOGGED IF NOT FOR HATRED?
8. WHAT MORAL LESSON DID THE PRINCIPAL SIGNALED TO OTHER STUDENTS AND TEACHERS AS WELL?

COME TO THINK OF IT:
IN MAJORITY OF OUR SO CALLED GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS,
1 CHRISTIANS CONDUCT ASSEMBLY FOR 4 DAY AND MUSLIMS 1 DAY
2. CHRISTIAN TEACHERS ARE MAJORITY WITH EVANGELISM MANDATE AT ANY COST;
3. MAJORITY OF OUR HOLIDAYS ARE PROGRAMMED WITH CHRISTIAN CALENDER AND AGENDA;
4. MUSLIMS ARE VICTIMIZED BECAUSE WE HAVE NOBODY IN AUTHORITY TO SPEAK FOR US;
5. BOTH SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS ARE REGARDED AS WEEKENDS BASED ON CHRISTIAN AGENDA;
6. WE ALL KNOW HOW SATURDAY BECAME A WORK FREE DAY;
7. THE MEDIA IS DOMINATED BY CHRISTIANS WITH ISLAM AS TARGET OF ATTACK AND HATRED
8. CHRISTIANS PREACHES LOVE OF MUSLIMS IN PUBLIC BUT FILLED THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS WITH HATRED AND DESTRUCTION OF MUSLIMS IN THE CHURCH.
9. 'NIGERIA FOR CHRIST BY YEAR 2000' CRUSADE NOW LEADING TO BH INVENTION AND THE SHOUT FOR SPLITTING OF THE COUNTRY HAVE SUCCESSFULLY USED THE MEDIA TO PROJECT THAT CHRISTIANS DOMINATE THE WEST.

but you are moving away from the main issue by posing new questions/lines of thought. you even proposed a reason (brand her a terrorist) for bringing the victim on assembly.

there are kids in Nigeria writing scripts and developing codes @ that age.

an MCP exam is mainly cram dumps and pass so it is not like the boy is a genius.

monex: Pope Pontian resigned in 235

others include :

Silverius (536 - 537)
John XVIII (1003 - 1009)
Celestine V (1294)
Gregory XII (1406 - 1417)

scobaba: I'm a catholic....but dear pope.....infact make I no talk. Dem teach us for prayer class say the pope is INFALLIBLE, dat is to say, he cannot err in any decision he takes concerning the catholic faith.

Though I for like ask questions, but I still live by da faith.

INFALLIBLE actually means he cannot err in matters of faith and doctrine in his capacity as Pope.

eagle,eye:
Give me a reference to any other pope that have resigned/retired in the history of the Catholic church?

Pope Pontian resigned in 235

Sagamite: In this modern world we are in, Michael Porter came to Nigeria, gave a lecture and report to Nigerian government officials on how to create a competitive Nigeria that would potentially get tens of millions of people out of poverty, reduce crime and terror rates, reinstate national dignity etc and the Nigerian press hardly carried it.

But Kim Kardashian carries her ikebe to Nigeria, they put it as front-page news.

It irritates me.

yeah. we really need to understand that this world is driven by greed. The objective of the owners of nairaland is to improve traffic and not contribute positively to the society.

does it have navigation. and what is the mileage

busolayemi: u dnt av to undastand...as long as u undastand d flow of discussion...if u av sumtin contribute, do...if not f**k off

i think you made a mistake with this remark. you attacked your only alibi.

2buff: This is Nigerian thinking. You better hope you STAY in Nigerian then and not leave.
That is why Nigerian homes breakup here, unless you don't want her to work. But if she has to work, do ALL that, and sex you on top in this part of the world....You suppose pity am naw.

interesting. so nigerian homes have more breakups and divorces than western homes. that's some surprising statistic.

busolayemi: Sumtyms I wonda aw dis men cope b4 dey got married...its ppl like dem dat kip a dirty room nd patronize mama bash's stupidly prepared meal...gosh!

many bachelors can cook and clean their home before marriage plus mama bash food is not stupidly prepared.

truth is things like good sex and good food are no longer the prerogative of married men.
