My mom had a maid who was a member of that organization. The girl was always excited when their program would be on TV, and as soon as their leader appeared, she would kneel down to pay obeisance/worship him. My sister was annoyed at one point, and questioned why she would worship a mortal instead of God. My mom forbade her from attending their service, for fear that she might take my younger sisters with her to their service. She eventually left us.

May God deliver us from false prophets in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Jesus Christ had forewarned us on the surge on false prophets to deceive the public.

What I read on the website was spooky.

Hello Nancy,

Abeg, one question, did you grow up in Calabar? I had a primary school teacher at UNICAL staff school named Mrs. Ekpoh. My favorite teacher, and I have lost touch with her. She and her husband lived in State Housing, Calabar.

True, Sista, America is a land of contrasts, professing to give peace to the subjugated ones, while its past has been replete with violence against its inhabitants. What an irony. Is this hospitality exhibited to Americans towards immigrants their own way for atoning for their past misdeeds?

Trust in Jesus Christ, for only He can save you.

Neither can voodoo nor the rest of them ,

We should not give, to expect any reward from God, but let it come from the sincerity of our heart.

About sowing of seed, a practise in some Churches, I don't know if it is Biblical or not, but to be frank with all of you, lets all strive for contentment. Dont be a slave for money. In today's world, a lot of emphasis is being placed on the accumulation of material goods, sometimes at the expense of God's Salvation. To me, God's Salvation should come first, and we should strive to obey Him at all cost. It is better that way, choose the Salvation of God, over money, than to be awashed with money with a false sense of importance.

Another blessing from God, that people at times overlook is a peace of mind. Riches without peace of mind is unfulfilling. Others may be rich, and reside in mansions that would definitely merit a place in Architectural digest, but lack peace in their life, and as such, cant enjoy their money. Contentment is the key. Dont ever slave for money, or else it may gain control over your life.


Cheers.

I agree with the poster that Armani code really smells good.

Which is the best for females?

Guys, just an advice. Quit arguing with those who choose to disbelieve the Gospel. It is like going on an endless journey. Already, some folks, who espouse Christianity as their religion have descended so low to spew insults at other non-Christians. Please, be forewarned.

Worked. Amazing.

@Enitan.

With God, all things are possible. If the Holy Bible says that Jesus Christ will descend from Heaven with the shout of the Archangel, who are you to doubt that such a miracle is unbelievable. Even if you are disinclined to believe, then remember that God Almighty is capable of performing the Greatest Miracles in the Universe. Open your mind to God and quit doubting.

@Enitan, I wont be surprised if you are a member of a white garment Church. But to disprove your assertion that Jesus Christ wont descend from the sky, or even mocking those who are eagerly awaiting His Second Coming from the Sky, here is what the Holy Bible says.

1 Thessalonians 4:16: "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first"

Floss your teeth after eating and when brushing, pay particular attention to your tongue, because that is where some of residues resides. Drink lots of water, and avoid mouthwashes that has alcohol content, because it dries the mouth. If all else fails, consult a dentist to remedy the problem.

Ok, it has never happened to me, before, but I have come very close to running out of gas. Once, while driving home I realized that I was running low on gas. It was in the evening and the nearest gas station, was miles away. I kept praying that I would make it to the gas station, and miraculously, I arrived at the gas station and filled my tank.

Earlier on when I lived in Nigeria, as a kid, my father's chauffeur was taking us back to Calabar, after spending the weekend in the village. Guess what? He ran out of gas on the highway, much to the anger of my father. He rushed to the gas station and came back with a container filled with petrol. I just brushed off the incident.

At another time, while going for a job interview that did not materialize, I had a flat tire. While I was pacing up and down the side of the freeway, trying to place a call to my insurance company /9-11 for assistance, another fellow pulled right behind me and told me that he had ran out of gas. His story was typical, finances played a major role, so in exchange for changing my tires, I offered him a ride to the gas station. Still, on my way to school again, I witnessed a scene where a man was filling his tank with gas, just off the freeway.

I inquired from my coworkers about their experience and two told me that they had in the past. Worse of it all is when you are flying. How can one be so sure that the plane they are flying in has a tank full of gas? Ethel Kennedy (widow of Robert Kennedy) lost her parents in a plane crash, because the plane had ran out of gas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethel_Skakel_Kennedy)

So your experiences please? How about those living in the USA? What would be your reaction if someone ran out gas here? Would you lay blame on them for failing to take advantage of the plethora of gas stations, in close promixity to one another in the spirit of capitalism, or would you chalk it up to the frailties of humans?

Emegwali was touted as one of Africa's leading scientist in one African periodical. I fell for it, and even told my former co-worker, that a Nigerian was named as one of Africa's greatest scienties. We dont do our homework quite well. The guy was quite mad at me, and apparently, luck is on my side, because the guy has not brought it up again. Maybe I need to apologize to him that I was wrong, Emegwali's accomplishments leaves little to be desired.

I am not Ibo, but an Ibibio man.

I have never tapped palm wine, but I know those palm wine tappers attach themselves to a rope the palmwine tree. We all know it is risky, and can lead to a fall. I dont know of any tapper that has fallen from a tree, but if there was an 'invention' that could make tapping palm wine easier, would it be considered an abandonment of our ancient tradition in favor of modernism? See, black women in the olden days found it hard to maintain their hair. Our hair is coarse and not that easy to manage. The curling comb was invented, and now, women have the choice to either perm their hair, braid it, or for the self concisous Afro woman, maintaining a nappy look is ok for them. I just dont see any link between perming one's hair and abandoning one's black race.

Much ado about nothing!!!

Divadarlin, if you are going to complain that black women should not perm their hair, then take this advice. Dont communicate in the English Language, since it is the language of the caucasian. Dont eat European cuisine, but limit your intake to African food. Dont even bother going to school in the western world, but rather move back to Naija and choose to school there. And moreso, come out with ethnic hair products that would benefit black women.

And oh, lest I forget, don't eat with cutleries, but with your bare hands, because you don't want to act white.

America is the land where dreams are fulfilled. It is amazing what an impact this country (the USA) has created on the global scene, its footprints are all over the globe, to the point that when it sneezes, it is as if, the outcome would torpedo the world. Look at the Gulf War and how people were engulfed in watching it. Look at their capitalistic economy, that has poured billions into the hands of private investors. Perhaps, America is like a fantasy land, where dreams are fulfilled. It holds a phenomenal place in today's world. I dare say, there hasnt been any country, even in medieval times whose popularity has eclipsed that of America.

Promise, which side you dey for California?

We have God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God, as the Holy Bible says.


Read Philippians 2:6

Very unprofessional@labelle. You could report him to his boss for such an unprofessional conduct.

A book of 'fairy stories' that is the bestseller of all bestsellers.

By the way, "Reverend", why go by the name that is associated with Christianity if you have doubts on the veracity of the Holy Bible?

Amerinaija, Woodlawn, Maryland, according to Wikipedia had the highest percentage of Nigerians, of all the cities in the USA, so that is a distinction by itself. Maryland is a small state, with smaller cities, all interconnected to each other, so it is not unusual to see a 'spill over' of Nigerians from one city (like Silver Spring) to the next one (like Takoma park). The cities there are quite small in size, but they have a huge presence of Nigerians out there. Houston, as mammoth as it is in size, with clogged freeways is regarded as the unofficial capital of Nigerians in the USA. So, percentage wise, MD tops, but regarding population, Houston wins

What of New Jersey?

I'd rather pay 8 million Naira for a nice flat at Ewet Housing, Uyo, than to purchase a building at Dolphin estate.

Of course, porn is wrong. Private institutions are at liberty to establish laws to ward against pornography/illicit sex and I support it.

Just two, at most three. As much fun as it is having kids around, too many of them can drain you emotionally and physically.

Come-o, has anybody ever wondered if our high maternal death in Africa can be attributed to raising too many kids?
