And you know the history behind tattoo - it is ritualistic, yes cultural but that ritualistic aspect cannot be ruled out. And as a Christian you are waiting for an explicit directive from the new testament to tell you before you adhere - you will wait forever. That's why I mentioned God's gift of common sense. Didn't the Bible warn us about being in conformity with the things of the world. In that we start adapting the world behavior, beliefs, trends or values to align with the prevailing norms and trends of society. Soon, you will tell me it's the old testament that talked about homosexuality, since it wasn't mentioned in the new testament morally there isn't anything wrong with being a gay!

bro, you are capping

do you know that jesus deing on the cross and his blood used to watch your sins is ritualistic and symbolic... it is similar to tattoos, they are ritualistic and symbolistic just like Jesus blood.

4 buses to a population of almost 3 million people living in the federal capital

See how they are smiling and shinning teeth for old technology.

Let's talk leave all the Un necessary talks. We agree the Bible, old and new cannot be subbed, they must be in sync. Jesus said he didn't come to abolish the old laws, So, if the Bible does not speak clearly on certain issue, like smoking, pornography, masturbation etc how can we know if it is good or bad? It is therefore worthy to note , that God has given us common sense, and it brings you and I to use our head. Our first question because of this argument is why would a Christian want a tatoo?

Pornography and masturbation are moral issues.

There are biblical laws and also moral laws.

And there is no moral laws that say that tattoo is bad.

Moral laws in most times are culturally and also customs

In many culture and customs including Nigeria, tattoos are allowed.

It is only in the old testament, the bible wrote against tattoos to the children of Israel who were not christians.

Hellisreal70:
The old testament existed before Jesus physically came to the world as the son of God. And it contains the law.
Jesus said he has not come to abolish the law (what you referred to as Moses law) but to fulfill it.
Very clear.

You obviously don't even understand what you wrote down, you are just repeating what was written down. Do you understand the context of what Jesus meant?

smtx:
Stop this long text, let's take it one by one. Is Tattoo good for a Christian?

Lol...you are not the right person for this discussion.

And yes, a Christian can have a tattoo.

smtx:
Jesus addressed the adulterous woman directly, why bring it up to score cheap point?

You dont know your bible.who is talking about jesus and the adulttous woman

Let’s stay on the topic, we were discussing tattoos. The only explicit ban is in the Old Testament (e.g., Leviticus 19:28). The New Testament gives no command about tattoos.

You said I’m “leaving out” the Old Testament. But if you believe every Old Testament law still binds Christians, then be consistent: do you also follow the penalties like stoning, the strict purity and dietary codes, and the Old Testament rules about women and social roles? If not, you’re already making distinctions.

Christians believe Jesus fulfilled the law and introduced a new covenant. The New Testament restates the moral core but not the ceremonial and civil codes. So pulling one Old Testament verse about tattoos while ignoring many others is selective.

Bottom line: either apply the entire Old Testament code or acknowledge the New Testament framework. Singling out tattoos while discarding the rest is inconsistent and that’s the issue I’m calling out.

Hellisreal70:
Jesus said he has not come to abolish the law of God but he has come to fulfill it

Jesus death and resurrection created a new covenant, which replaced the old one given to Israel.

The Old Testament law was a covenant with Israel, not the whole world. The Mosaic Law (laws given to Moses) was a binding agreement between God and the nation of Israel.

smtx:
So you live your life based only on the New Testament? Why not throw away the old then? Anytime people want to choose some lifestyle and still want be Christians they choose the parts of the Bible that suites their narratives.

if you claim you follow all the rules in the bible, why dont you stone people to death as written in the old testament or follow the rules on how women should treated as stated in the old testament or the complex laws in the old testament.

Shebi una say new testament is the new way of life.

i know you would have no reply because of hypocrisy

RevenuesBoost:
This was my Mum's Reaction.

My Parents are both Pastors and according to her, "marking the body is sin"
My Dad didn't say anything.
I just love the fact that he could do that for me.

there is no where in the new testament where body tatoo is a sin

they only show the top earners which in reality are just 1% of all drivers

why dont you compare with the top 1% doctors, don't forget there are doctors that own their own hospitals and they make more than even the top 1% bolt drivers

She is not a minister but believe me Nigeria is dead gone, we are creating a crime infested society

don't be suprised that in the future, someone will kill 1000 nigerians and he will just have to apologise, that is the country we are living in right now.

No repercussion if you commit a crime

Let’s keep accepting lawlessness in our country until the consequences hit us, and then we’ll start calling for prayers for change. The future is looking truly bleak for Nigerian society. Someone commits a crime, and instead of facing justice, they’re rewarded with an ambassadorship. Another person commits the same offence and people rush to defend them.

This is the same way we treat rape victims and families of murder victims with empty apologies, as if that makes everything okay. Boko Haram, militants, and terrorists kill, and we give them amnesty. We are breeding a culture of zero accountability and normalising a lawless society.

Soon, we will reap the rewards of the seeds we’ve planted. Let’s keep forgiving evil, and we shouldn’t be surprised when, in the future, Nigeria has one of the highest crime rates in the world.

this is funny

i dont know if i should laugh or shake my head.

No be you wann ridicule graduates and masters degree holders
Those are the people in charge of the frame work controlling the society you live in. If you were educated enough, you would have known.

una dey joze..you know what, the graduates love bribes

the only stuff he needs to do is simple, get an accountant to literally workout all his finances at the end of the day, he will pay little.

it is over for ukraine.

now, they have to lose land to Russia.

lesson, dont be allowed to be used as a pawn if you have a major world power as your neighbour

Apart from sex, the guy has nothing to offer. He might just be fulfilling a fantasy.

Obviously a 35 year old lady will be looking for stability, a child or marriage.

If a woman of that age is dating a 2 years old, it is either she is just looking to control the young guy or she is delulu.

Put this female thug on the ban list

The problem in Nigeria is that the main reason why people do not respect rules is that they we live in a nation where sorry is accepted and also where enforcement is low.

Someone can steal and then the next thing, people will come and apologize

In Nigeria, there is no repercussions for anything you do. It is like you give incentives for people to break the law

soon, they will say he is a billionaire...watch and see

Colonial marriage.

Imagine going to another culture to do your marriage when you are both african

Or maybe they want a quiet wedding or maybe because Iceland have strong legal protection for married couples for instance, financial rights and inheritance protection

Kushites:
Actually we saw them worshiping Your culture and history which the colonialists have taught you to hate.

I was not born during colonialism and I don't hate my culture.

It is silly claiming someone else culture because they painted a sculpture black.

I myself don't call myself black, I identify by my ethnicity. We also don't call ourselves black.

Black is an American and European classification.

We identify by ethnicity here not colour of skin

It is an expensive business to enter And also the market size is small.

There aren't much travellers from Nigeria, you can actually check the daily traffic online and compare with some countries with almost similar population size like ours.

Go to any major airport in Nigeria and you won't see much people in the hall. I have been to airport in Nigeria where only 100 people were in the waiting hall.

Another stuff is that if 5 airlines control 75 percent of traffic that means jobs in that industry will be very competitive and it means, it is near impossible to progress in your career

gregyboy:
The britsh did not respect any African tribe your bravery were all seen as foolishness the ones that didn't fight may have even been more
Respected and seen as wise, get thst into your skull

Stop saying what you don't know.

Equal violence is only what is respected and feared.

The British only respected only those tribes that show equal violence.

It is the same way, the military respect bokoharam and isil and also the American government respect Taliban.

Respect and admiration is only given to those who bring violence to the front.

Those who don't fight, are easily taken advantage of and look down on.

Love to claim other people culture

i noticed something, western politics is all about trend rather than priciple

but it does not mean that the LGBT agenda has stopped or you wont get arrested if you discriminate against the LGBT union, it just mean they reduce the publicity of it.

Julius1995:
They follow due process. Preliminary investigation was to be conducted, and pending the conclusion, it is not out of place to place her on temporary suspension. Reports have it that, in her report, she claimed KWAM 1 held her flight and passenger hostage, which is a serious terrorist offense.

you are only thinking about K1, what about the faan officials she endangered, it is about safety, you guys just use emotions or politics to judge issues rather than critical thinking

This is the rule, A pilot cannot move an aircraft without clearance from the control tower and assurance that the tarmac is clear. She violation standard operating procedures.

This is about safety.

Julius1995:
She was not unprofessional. Learn the ropes of a profession before jumping into conclusion. K1 had no business staying on the tarmac of an aircraft that has been cleared for flight, not to talk of holding the plane hostage. The duty of the captain is the safety of her passenger. K1's act can be likened to terrorism. She acted in the most professional way. Air traffic is not like road traffic or railway.

Then if she was professional like you claim. Then why did they suspend her and take her license.

What she did is a dent on her resume.

She was was unprofessional and the musician was acting like a thug.

Both deserve prison time.

She has lost her job.

In a sane country, she will be in prison also that musician would have been her roommate in prison

This is not a healthy relationship. It’s emotionally and physically abusive. your wife needs support, healing and possibly separation from you for for her mental, physical, and emotional safety.

you needs serious therapy. you are toxic, unfaithful, and completely lacking in accountability.

your child is growing up in a volatile home, and that’s a tragedy in itself.

your wife need to leave if she has sense and seek help.

When the British came to Africa, they encountered several tribes that resisted colonization with intense brutality. Interestingly, the British often developed a certain level of admiration or respect for groups that put up a fierce fight even if those tribes were eventually defeated.

Take the Zulus, for example. They went all out against the British, engaging in multiple battles that made Shaka Zulu a legendary warrior-king. His fearless leadership earned the respect of both his people and his enemies. Even today in South Africa, the Zulu monarchy remains one of the most respected traditional institutions.

Another example is the Kikuyus of Kenya. They fiercely opposed British presence during the Mau Mau Uprising, a major revolt that played a key role in pushing the country toward independence. The resistance was so impactful that, in 2013, the British government issued a formal apology for its role in the brutal suppression of the rebellion.

In contrast, while there were pockets of resistance in Nigeria, none were as sustained or as intense as the Zulu or Kikuyu struggles. This may partly explain why many Nigerian tribes didn’t command the same level of reluctant respect from the British.

Resistance came at a price but in the eyes of the colonizers, those who fought back often earned a lasting legacy.
