@Post,

I want to get married for personal growth and fulfillment. Through your spouse and your children, you will encounter monumental challenges and obstacles like you never before envisioned. Its a ride, it soars high with you, then the wind shears underneath and you are suddenly slammed down. But you must get back up! Who will provide and protect for your family if you don't? But soon as you stand upright, it flips you again. On and off, you go through this swing between sweet and sour. If the two of you hold on steadfastly, the turbulence will soon loose momentum and then the prosperity begin to flow in. The prosperity is the reward for your tenacity.

@post,

Yeah, Im nervous around women too.  Women are safe and protected around me, no fear.

Ruby & HCH, I ordered a three-tiered cake, y'all let me know the date.    

@post,

I can deal with a barren woman, no problem if there is love. I cannot tolerate a frigid woman, she got two weeks to thaw out or I'm gone looking for a woman in heat. I don't think a woman should tolerate an impotent man either, Wtf! There are plenty men walking around with a hard on, what she need him for?

Lol, I am shocked! You lived down the street from Grand Khadi's house, didn't you?

How is Abu doing and where is he now? I'd like to know. Last I saw him was ages ago! How about Mohammed Wali, you know him?
Saha, send me an email when u get a chance. Negro_Nations@yahoo.com

Saha, I hope you are not who I'm thinking.

Thats too many coincidences, do you have a brother named Abubakar? Please say NO!

lol@post

The rhythm of relationship and interaction between two people is a dynamic one, it is never at static state.  So there is no fast rule by which a man will relate to all women in each of his relationships.  

He might be kind and compassionate in his relationship with Ms A and willing to rotate roles with her, but then he meets Ms B and he is carefree and unconcerned about her emotions and he is hardly around to assist her, then he meets Ms C and the dynamic of that interaction could swing him to the extreme end where he acts brute and cruel to her and make her serve him like a maid.  

Of course in a marriage, the rhythm, whatever it is, has had time to settle and what you observe is a constancy of expression.  If it is the Ms A type, then it will be shocking to suddenly see the man swing and start behaving towards his wife in the Ms C type.  

Wassup with all these men vs women, "who is stronger, who is weaker" stuffs  

Saha, did u grow up in Kano? What part? My family lived on Lamido Rd for many years and I attended Rumfa.

@POST,

When I walk up and talk to a girl, more likely than not she is going to say to me "I have a boyfriend". As far as I'm concerned, if she's not married, then she is "available". Its the "hide & seek" hunting game. She is evasive, I am tenacious.

I am not dissuaded by the other guy, in fact as far as I'm concerned, he's in trouble from that moment on. On our meeting she had made it clear that I'm not number 1 , so its in my interest to elevate my position to number 1. That's what competition is, displacing the other guy and becoming the one that wins her heart and love. Not every relationship start at the number 1 position. You must understand where you are and what goals you want to accomplish. Some guys can be cool and wait their turns to be elevated, some guys are hot headed and cannot. To the girl that I want If i'm not number 1, nobody else is going to be.


@another point, Funmi, whass up with these topics you conjure up, what's all these stuffs about men and emotional bearings. Is this some sort of sensitivity training for our ego??

Pastor,

For these words that you say, May the Blessings of God envelope around you in every direction of your being, Amen.

I don't know what to say, that's not something I can counter.

Pastor,

It is refreshing to see you agree with me on this issue.

On the part of corrupt and sinful Priests, do you not agree that they are misleading and mis educating the masses? That in the name of Christianity, they are leading men and women away from what is truly Christ-like and that they do so very successfully by using tactics that were skillfully employed by colonial missionaries to conquer Africans in ways that the guns and mortars of colonial Armies could not?

It is not fair to excuse them on fear of condemning remarks while their tongues and teachings are instrumental in the condemnation of multitude souls that follow them blindly, believing in their false messages of prophecy.

Religion was meant as a communal recharging station for the individual soul to redeem itself and maintain its sense of divinity on account of the imperfection and propensity of the body in which it resides to perpetually be engaged in acts of corruption and sin. For this reason, temples are created and designated as sacred. The intention being that on entry, the body is humbled and the ego subdued for the beginning of the cleansing and rituals that take place on the temple grounds. Unfortunately in these ages, the custodians of religion, the high priests themselves, that we rely on to cleanse and lead us in the rituals of redemption are themselves dirtier, more sinful and more treacherous than the congregation they lead.

This is different from spirituality. Spirituality is a individual quest for truth, a yearning desire to merge the soul to a divine source. The ways of peace, the ascent to unravel the unconscious part of self.

@Post,

The scriptures are divine messages inspired for guidance. They contain immense powers for those who will seek and be enlightened by them. This is not to say that the enlightened, by virtue of his/her understanding is immuned from trials and tribulations of life. Instead, the enlightened mind is far able to self-diagnose and self-heal (self-shield) from many of the conditions that prevail mankind. Before I address the issue of Trinity, I want to present two examples to outline what I mean.

Message - The Ark
God said He commanded Noah to build the Ark of Covenant and to put in it two of every kind. Afterwards He caused it to rain untill the land was flooded and everything was destroyed and then after the water subsided and the Ark was harboured and the creatures disembarked then they multiplied and populated the land.

Application - Rebirth/Re-awakening/Transformation
When you are going through a rebirth in your life, you are in a position between two existences, the old and the new. Symbolically, this is duality. The force of duality exist in every one of us and if you pay attention you will identify what and where the force of duality resides in you. It is a fruitful energy, it ushers in prosperity and growth. So that if you perform the rituals and you exercise the patience, your rebirth/awakening/transformation or whatever you want to call it will begin to flourish and blossom. In this case, the rituals and disciplines of the force of duality becomes your covenant, if you live up to its demands, God promised that He will reward you. The story of Noah is thus the proof of that covenant coming to fruition.

Message - Creation
God created the earth and everything in it in 7 days. He filled the void and then on the eight day, He rested.

Application - Conception, Manifestation, Sensation, Completion
Anytime you are engaging the senses, you are in effect employing the power of 7. This is particularly true in musical notes _ doh ray mi fah soh la ti doh_ you have seven notes completed and recycled in the eight. You can half or double a note to create an octave. When you do that, you can define a sequential series in the form of 2, 4, 8, 16, octaves. This is the same sequence that is used in digital technology using the lowest possible octave_ 2 _ as the base. In digital technology you have discrete numbers, 1 or 0, "ON" or "OFF" conditions. When you repeat it 8 times like in music notes, you get 8bytes of digitized signal. You can then use multiples of 8 bytes to create Giga bytes of data signal, just as you can create multiples of musical notes ordered in a series to produce higher harmonics. This same principle is what makes your cellphone work. There are messages in the scriptures for the benefit of mankind. We Africans are either reading the wrong scriptures or we are too lazy to be bothered in our minds about its applications to mundane living.


There are so many coded messages like these in the scriptures and they are meant to benefit mankind. Without their manifestation, their benefits cannot be fully derived. In other for the power in a divine message to manifest, it must first be understood, the understanding must be practiced, the practice must effect changes and then the changes lead to benefits.


TRINITY

The doctrine is actually made up of four entities _Quadrant.

1. The Father
2. The Son
3. The Holy Ghost
4. The Church

It is wrapped around the person of Jesus (ASW).

1. Father - A divine order commanding the BEING of The Messiah
2. Son - The Messiah himself
3. Holy Ghost - The breathe of divinity, executed by Angel Gabriel into Mary
4. Church -


I have deliberately left the question marks as place holders to quest the conscience. Is it not natural that Mary, the anointed mother should be the fourth pillar of the doctrine? So why is Mary never mentioned? In fact why is the Church pillar silenced and the doctrine is reduced to three? Why is Mary a Saint and not a doctrine of Christianity? Could this have been a calculated move aimed at displacing women from running Church affairs?

Give your responses, Im interested in hearing inputs and opinions. This is a dialogue, not an insult at the faith. Truth begets truth!

If you feel offended and respond to me with insult, I am comfortable with tempers, I will dish it right back at ya.

Nice Prayers Cayon, Blessings to you!

At age 23, of course the poster will be more exposed to girls around his age and below because culturally that's what he's preconditioned to do. Physically however, he might encounter a 38yr old woman and find a strong sexual appeal in her. Mentally, and depending on his level of maturity, he might find it more interesting hanging with a 38yr old that has substance to add to his mind, than a 20yr old that lacks depth of mind. So there are numerous dimensions that will make this seemingly impossible match to actually turn out to be an enchanting pairing. I have never discriminated a good opportunity with a physically sophisticated and intelligently savvy woman because of age, younger, same age, older, its the attitude that counts most for me.

@post, love is a deeper issue and I think you are more infatuated here than you are in love with her. Becareful, love means a lot to her at that age than it does to you at your age. You might wake up one day and find a shiny metal on your wedding finger and start wondering how did I get into this, but it will be too late. Don't mind that she is older than you, if she misbehaves deal with her ass like a man. Sometimes for no apparent reason, just get up and cause a scene and disturb the status quo, shake things up and don't tell her why, make her wonder what you are going through, not the other way around.

tpia,

you don't seem to have read my response here:


Quote
And once again, I do not think the proverb applies to eating fish. You are confirming the OP's ridiculous statement that eating fish head is a culture and tradition among Yorubas. Since they even have proverbs describing the best way to eat fish head. I disagree. Unless its a culture in some parts of Yoruba that I'm not familiar with.

No, I did not, You should have warned me to put my palm wine bottle for a minute and pay attention,


Karma, I missed school the day quotation marks was thought in class. There is something you like, and the payback is coming for causing that woman's chicken head and legs to walk away miraculously
