Why do some of you muslims keep looking into the Holy Bible, the same Holy Book that you claim has been adulterated to validate the authenticity of Mohammed? We dont need any koran or other books to prove the Messiaship of Jesus Christ because we know that He is the one.

ARE CHILDREN NO LONGER A GIFT FROM GOD[center][/center]

THE ISSUE OF HAVING A MALE CHILD,SOMETIMES AT ALL COST HAS A BEEN A THORN IN THE FLESH OF MANY HOUSEWIVES.MOTHERS INLAW HAVE GIVEN THEIR DAUGHTERS INLAW UNBEARABLE TROUBLES,WHILE SOME MEN HAVE SEEN THIS AS AN EXCUSE TO MARRY MORE THAN ONE WIFE EVEN THOUGH MOST TIMES THEY REALLY WANT TO DO SO.I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT I WANT TO GIVE US ALL THE CHANCE TO CONTRIBUTE.
IF YOU,YOUR FRIENDS OR LOVED ONES ARE NOT IN NEED OF A MALE CHILD,YOU MAY NEVER UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES IN HAVING A MALE CHILD.
SO THE BIG QUESTION IS:DO NIGERIAN COUPLES REALLY DESIRE TO HAVE MALE CHILDREN THAN FEMALES?
LET ROLL!!!!!

Not just housewives, but nearly every married woman desires to have a male child. And the reason is for the perpetuation of the family name. And besides you show know the answer to the question you pose, "Do Nigerian couples really desire to have male children than females?"

Debosky should be a contender, likewise Davidylan

First, it was 08/08/08, now it's 09/09/09. Please, Christianity has nothing to do with numerology, that is my response to another comment.

Access, Calabar, right?

by the way, i know the oyinbo woman who married jaja of opobo's grandson, she was the head of my secondary school. I think she initially came here as a teacher or missionary. I also think she was from New York.

Encouraging!

That man comes off as a sycophant.

kennyaribs:
You should know that papacy is not an English word, it means Father in Faith (as the protestants call thier G.Os Daddy which is English) and the faith is in Christ. So, the Pope is the Father in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

There are many epistles written by the early fathers that were not included in the Bible and the Bible comfirmed it "not all that happened were written" because the Bible will be too big epecially for the new converts. Also, this was done because education was not common so, the Church compiled that through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit for new converts to see the Bible as a small piece they can easily read and digest which is needed for their salvation. Note that Christianity is beyond just been saved (i.e being born again) the fight continues to eventually make heaven

Peter was the 1st Pope and was the head of the Apostles (Matt 16:15-20). he was buried in the vatican in Rome, the seat of Papacy

And he was married! So, isnt that a bit contradictory that your subsequent popes who regard St. Peter as their progenitor, however frown on marriage among popes?

A slap on the face of Nigerians.

Jakumo, both of you fit be contenders for the award!

And debosky

@ezinine, you have really persevered, quite touching and inspiring. Best wishes.

And this is the same organization that has keeps up with the lies that Jesus Christ came back in 1914 even though the Holy Bible has completely refuted that.

LadyT:
Theres different levels of prostrating.  You would not go flat to the ground in a market neither would I knee fully in a market.  My darling Ndipe dont get carried away!

You can easily do a semi prostate if the situation demands it or I do a semi knee our elders are not deraged to think you would lie down flat in the middle of a market.

Why adopt a half hearted measure instead of going the whole nine yards as dictated by tradition?

When I celebrate Christmas, I am thanking God for sending Jesus Christ to die for my sins to reconcile me to Him. I am not partaking in any pagan rituals or activities, and honestly, there is really no verse in the Holy Bible that forbids or mandates the celebration of Christmas.

LadyT:
I support it!  It doesnt hurt anyone.

Tribal marks, female circumcision etc need to be thrown out to the trash heap those kind of things are not needed.

I wouldnt want to prostrate to anybody. Or, would you still prostrate to an elderly person in the market?

When I celebrate Christmas, it is to thank God for His Mercies in sending Jesus Christ to die for my sins on the Cross. I have read that it has pagan regions, but that's not what I celebrate.

C2H5OH:
yah the grass should be blue, not green.

So, you are in support of this outmoded tradition? Oh well, what will you say of female circumcision? Practise it, because it's part of our culture?

Seun, ratting out someone in America over drugs comes with dire consequences. People get killed over it, not kidding at all, despite assurances of protection from the police and their relocation to a different city. That is why sometimes in tough neighborhoods like the hood, drug dealers sometimes get a free pass from their neighbors, because of the slang, "snitches get stitches."

Colossians 2:16-23 (New International Version)

16Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day

Prostrating should be an outdated custom.

Yet, you guys keep denying that Jesus Christ is actually God despite verified claims in the Holy Bible that He and God the Father are One.

Henry Louis Gates, the acclaimed African American professor at Harvard University was arrested by the Cambride police in his apartment. According to news report, the professor who had just arrived home, found his front door jammed, but eventually, was able to gain entry into his home. Acting on a tip-off from neighbors, the Cambridge police arrived and confronted him while in the house. Reports have it that they demanded for his ID in his house, but he acted beligerence, accusing the police of being racist. Whereupon, the police officer slapped his wrists with handcuffs. The furor has yet to die down, but it's spawning discussion on race and racial profiling.

Me thinks the professor should have simply produced his ID as proof that he resides in the house instead of playing the race card. Others are insisting that he was simply a victim of police excessiveness, aka racial profiling.

Who is correct?

Nigerian Indicted In $42 Million Health Care Fraud
July 27, 2009 15:40 (4 hours ago), 125 views

A Nigeria native who lives in Houston has been indicted on charges he sought $42 million in false Medicare and Medicaid claims by paying folks $100 each to sign blank health care forms he would later submit for reimbursement.

Umawa Oke Imo, 54, a permanent resident alien in the United States and native of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, was indicted last week but first charged and detained in June.

He’s accused of using an improperly staffed physical therapy clinic called City Nursing Services of Texas to conspire to commit health care fraud, mail fraud and money laundering, U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott announced. The clinic is at 9888 Bissonnet.

In a 36-count indictment, Imo is accused of paying recruiters to refer “patients” and paying those people $100 to sign numerous blank health care claim forms that were falsely submitted to the government though no care was rendered. Prosecutors allege Imo paid even more to keep patients from reporting the fraud to authorities once they saw claims had been made in their names.

Imo’s lawyer Ralph Martinez, who said he’s paid by Imo’s family in Nigeria because Imo’s funds are frozen, said his client was just one of many investors is this and two other clinics and had little to do with the day-to-day running of the clinic.

“He never saw patients. This is about people caught red-handed trying to curry favour with the government by blaming my client,” Martinez said.

The $42 million in billing was put through from 2007 to April 2009. Medicare paid more than $27 million and Medicaid nearly $3 million to City Nursing, prosecutors said.

The government alleges there was a cheque for $1 million made to Imo himself.

Martinez said his client, who initially had a public defender, does not live a lavish lifestyle. His home in Richmond has an appraised value of $283,340.

This was a joint investigation involving the FBI, IRS, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state Medicaid fraud control.

Looks like a residential house. But the decor of the hotel's entrace in the other picture is very nice.

No, the Tutsi's were killed by the Hutu.
Your argument implies that the Jews werent German.

Thanks for the correction.

savanaha:
The number of people killed by the Rwandan genocide was more than the Holocaust considered the length and amount of death yet the Jewish Holocaust gets more sympathy than this incident that happens in the early 1990s

The Rwandan Genoice, unlike the Jewish Holocaust, was caused by two warring tribe, the Tutsis and the Hutus in Rwanda. While the tragedy was senseless, then again, when you compare the two, the Jews were killed by foreigners while the Rwandans were killed by their own people.

Why cant a lady sponsor her wedding, I mean, it's her own wedding also. What if she is richer than the man?

savanaha:
African tribal tradition kwa? 

I can see that as a factor if it involves two blacks, (an African and an African American) and the AA is not acquainted with the tribal culture of Africa.
