To buttress the OP's views...

I read this story and i laughed... i laughed hard because marriage is complex and is often more that what meets the eye.

Do you know the couple's story? They alone, know why they act in the manner they do. Look! how a woman or wife react in marriage is borne more of the input of the husband. What you see is what you get.

Let me ask you a question? Do you think the woman would've reacted the same way, if the man is often of the habit of squandering family cash on irrelevant things, stays away from the house with girlfriends, ignores the wife, does not carry the wife along in major decisions and does not take care of the home?

Young men, don't read hastily. The man the OP depicted up there is a responsible man. Most women align with their husbands easily, when the man is doing the needful.

The man has done enough for the reward you saw for few moments. Men, that reward doesn't come automatically. You work for it!!!

My response is not for the OP, because s/he has done justice with the points given thereafter. My response is for men who might read hastily, and assume the wife's behaviour is follow-come.

The aim of this article is to explain why the Anglican Church celebrate ash Wednesday. Most times, Pentecostal churches tend to condemn and speak against almost every practice of the Orthodox Church. But I hope this article will be meaningful and in turn convince as many as possible, but for the doubting Thomas’s, I do not know what else to do. I can only talk of Anglican because of my Anglican background, but I will not be able to talk much about Catholics and other orthodox churches. Although they all celebrate this event, yet I will not be able to place the exact reason why they do it.

Ash Wednesday is celebrated in the Anglican Church to mark the beginning of lent. Lent is a period of fasting and prayer which is observed by all Anglicans worldwide. It is celebrated once in a year and it terminates with the celebration of Easter. The lenting period for the Anglican Church lasts for a period of 40 days but ash Wednesday is celebrated 46 days to Easter. The fasting lasts for 40 days because the number 40 is a unique number. Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights and Moses also fasted for 40 days and 40 nights. Thus the Anglican Church fasts for 40 days. Many other churches fast for as long as they can or as short as they can. For example, RCCG fasted for 100 straight days in 2017 and 50 straight days in 2018, yet in July, they will also embark on another fasting for 30 days to complete 80 days fasting. Some other churches fast for the first 7 days of every year, some fast the last 7 days of every year, yet others fix their fast within the year. Islam fast 30 days to their sallah. Thus, the subject of fasting is not a new thing; neither did it originate from the Anglican Church. The lenting period occurs at a calculated time. As earlier stated, ash Wednesday occurs 46 days to Easter. The Anglican church do not fast on Sundays and as such, this lenting period lasts for 7 week (46 days) minus 6 Sundays in which no fasting is done. It is expected that every Anglican join in this yearly and spiritual exercise.

There are basically two major reasons why the church still celebrates Ash Wednesday which I am here to highlight.

The first reason why we still celebrate Ash Wednesday is because it is a sign of genuine repentance, sober reflection and sorrow. Dating back to the Old Testament, we see that ash was used severally on different occasions to mourn or bewail issues like; pronounced judgement, sorrow of heart, remorse and repentance. Perhaps, the following scripture references would throw more light. Job.42v6, Esther.4v1-3, 2Samuel.13v19, Jeremiah.6v26.25v34, Daniel.9v3. Jonah.3v6, Matthew.11v21, Luke.10v13. These few verses show us that ashes are been used basically as a sign of repentance and Jesus confirmed it validity as we see in Matthew and Luke. For this reason, the lenting period starts with the Ash Wednesday to show that the season is a season of sober reflection. It is a season of genuine repentance which ushers us to fast and pray, calling on the Lord Most High with a pure heart and a holy hand.

The second reason why Ash Wednesday is celebrated in the Anglican Communion is to remind us who we are. No matter the extent of our greatness and achievement, it a sad news to know that we are just ash and dust. This is why in a typical Anglican burial scenario, you will see or hear the following lines, “earth to earth, dust to dust, ash to ash”. With these statements, the grave of the dead person is covered. Therefore, we must constantly remind ourselves whom we are and not go about thinking that we are what we are not. With this in mind, it will help every Christian worldwide to understand the more that we are all ash and one day we will return back to ash while the soul returns to God.

Do We Just Pick Up Ash From Anywhere
This is another important question that i will not fail to answer. Do we pick up ash from anywhere, since ash do not have its types? The answer is NO. We do not just use any kind of ash for this celebration. We get a palm frond, burn it and use that ash for the celebration. Palm frond is selected because when Jesus went triumphantly into Jerusalem, the people got palm frond and st it om the ground for His ass to walk on it. For this reason, the Anglican church use the ash gotten from palm frond.

May God help us so that this celebration will not just be to fulfill all righteousness. One of the major reason why it seems as if Christianity is losing its value day by day is because some of those things which were instituted our Christian fathers are now been abused and carried out just to fulfill all righteousness. So if you are looking for the reason behind the ash Wednesday, then I have done a little justice to it. If you love this article and you believe its content, then go ahead and share it to all and sundry.

Yup. What do you expect when there is no spirituality in Nigeria?


The virtues crucial for marriage which are self-control, commitment, discipline, tolerance, selflessness, honesty, fidelity etc are no more....


Nigerians are now morally decayed. So will our political, social, religious institutions.

Living a single life can be boring most times. You see, we humans are wired to need someone. There is always a vacuum in our lives that needs to be filled by someone special, that's the reason why people make a lot of unnecessary sacrifices just to be love.

Sometimes we go below our standard just to keep them even though they may not worth it. Well it's because life and love has no manual. We are left to learn the hard way.

Every guy needs a good girlfriend if not you can't be truly happy no matter how you try to cover up with friends, hustle, computer games e.t.c. Even if you can, you can't stand the test of time you will still be lonely it is just the law of nature. Nature knows we can die anytime so there is this pressure to find a mate and pass your genes before death occurs.

There are many ways having a good girlfriend will better your life

1)Determination to be successful

let's say you have a new pretty girlfriend, she loves you truly but as hustling guy you don't have an apartment of your own so you guys can have all privacy you need, suddenly you will notice you have this drive to work harder and get an apartment for yourself and most times it works out, you will discover you manage your finances and a step ahead better, a girl can be that powerful

2) Strife to be a better man

I remember 7 years back I used to be a very dirty boy with poor dress sense. I wore one boxer for three days. My first girlfriend was this very neat Akwa Ibom girl (those women are very neat) she always insulted me until I blended and improved with my neatness and dress sense and secondly my social life changed too. The way I interact with people, I became more civilised. This trait still live with me today.

3) Confidence boost and self esteem

Having a beautiful woman in your life will boost your confidence and self esteem better than when your were single. If she truly loves you, you always feel wanted, loved and wanted.

Awol1:
She was busy making money and advancing her career.

Didn't even have time for love.

Little wonder she's single at 47.

I think it's time I deleted Facebook and WhatsApp.

JAOS:
Guys would you marry a girl who is taller than you even though you are older than her?

philip0906:
It is not about Mercy. It's atypical with Nigerian celebs once they're in the limelight, they believe to have a repertoire of haters (whatever that means).

An artist who has less than 2 tracks out, is already rapping and singing about haters and you wonder, who exactly is hating on him.

From Timaya to Dbanj to Toke to Trasha to Mercy Aigbe, there's literally NO nigerian in the limelight, who doesn't think they have haters. They sing about it, do instagram live video about it, tweet about it, post about it. Crazy, crazy

OP, restitution is rubbish.. Wetin don loss don loss

Making amends means changing your ways for better.

If you wrong a person, you can apologize to them.. But what if you kill a person? How do you bring them back to life?
Reference: Why didn't Paul restore the lives he decimated? Yet he said he's wrong no man. He encountered Christ.

2cor 5:17 ..if any man be in Christ, he's a new creation. Old things are passed away and everything become new!!

Restitution is somewhat self righteousness. Remember, our righteousness is like a filthy rag before God

DominusPrime:
When an adult asks this question on nairaland and expects people to answer yes or no it baffles me. First you are asking people who don't even know the girl or what she looks like or even 1/4 Of the full picture between you and the girl. What kind of advice do you think you will get? Of course it's misguided advice based mostly on their own points of views or experiences of life. They are not able to give sound unbiased advice. Coupled with the fact that the amount of info isn't anyhing to go by.

Here's mine. Any decision you take is ok as long as you can bear the consequences.
If u don't date her, your heart will fight you. You'll even keep falling for her more and you'd go through some emotional stress. So if u choose not to, be ready to go through all that.
If u date her there's the risk of things changing as regards your business. An employee who works for u is totally different from a gf who works for you. Are you ready to bear the changes that may come? Your business might suffer.
And finally, most rarely you can date her and things will even get better but this is the slimmest of all 3 things that could happen. All the best

Sharing her valentine photo, Toke Makinwa wrote:

"Happy Lovers day, if you are alone today, remember it’s only one day of all the noise, do not let the pressure get to you, a love that’s truly deserving of you will find you and then you can be loved like you want to be and deserve to be as you love another the same. God loves you, celebrate yourself, love on you today and keep your head up."

People need to look deep before getting married.
If he was rich when you met him and went broke,
Can you stay,
If you are unable to have kids,can you stay?
If you fight for each other through it all,
Stand and respect each other.
If any was falsely accused and sent to jail,
Can you stay.
So many things,
They both went through a great painful ordeal.
I Remeber when I laboured for days,I was in pain but my hubby was in worse,he was just lost,more scared than I and yet I was the one going through the process.
Some are stronger in some places whilst some are weaker.
You are meant to complete each other.
If you tell each other the deepest hurt can you move past it and be stronger
You get.
Nobody is more hurt here
They both are.
The man feels less of a man.
So many thought on the both of them.
Words will be said .
The woman who was raped may have moved on as a stronger person.
Whilst the man is still stuck on that moment.
What they needed was a good counsellor and to Remeber the word,
Till death do us part.
Marriage is deep.
So many things you can never imagine comes up.
If you both will not stick to each other through the rain and the sun please don't get married.
