"Christians should not have a divorce, it shouldn't be. But that doesn't mean a Christian should not take this step, they may, but that doesn't make it right, and we shouldn't take one another to court. But when it happens, we are not the one going there, someone is taking us there. That's the problem..."
Case closed
The pastor never wanted Divorce, his estranged wife went to Court to seek Divorce Abusers have never been observed to want separation from their victims, in fact some will threaten death to keep the relationship slavery alive. The pretender is even asking people to "pray for Anita" instead of "pray for chris" , if his prayers were ever effective he wouldn't be in this defensive situation. |

Fairgodwin: I know so many people will come here to read scientific meanings to it with so many fallible proofs (especially the one that happened in Russia), but it still wouldn't change the fact that the end is truly nearer than ever.
If you believe in God, keep believing [in Him] and holding on [to Him], if you don't believe in God, keep believing in whatsoever you believe in if that's what you think would save you on the last day.
Whatever you think would work for you and whatever you think is best for you, keep focusing on it. As for you Christians out there and all those who believe in the gospel of salvation through Jesus, I use this opportunity as a medium of contact to you, please do not relent for surely if you tarry still for a little [more] while, He shall surely come for you.
I'm not even speaking in regards to this (blood thing), whether it is real or not is entirely not much of my concern, but I just felt compelled to tell every believer out there to stand firm and earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
I wish every Nairalander a happy day ahead and an awesome night rest later tonight. God bless you all. SMH, did you bother to read the news ? |

nastyesco: Sorry Bro u are quite wrong and I will cite 3 examples where Chinese are ahead of west in innovation 1. We Chat: has incorporated payment system amongst other platforms which Facebook has been repeatedly trying to incorporate to its platform. WeChat was the pioneer in this regard 2. The Dual Camera innovation on iPhone 7 was already on Huawei P9 which was already on sale before iPhone 7 was announced 3.Huawei in the field of Telecoms backend equipment (only telecoms engineer are aware of this) deployed BSC6900, BTS3900 which were new and game changers in this field. 4.Innovation represents a rude change in the way of doing things...after all Steve Jobs didn't invent Mobile phones nor data phones...he just radicalised what we do with out phones...source has been included 1. I will give it to wechat for being the first to incorporate an already existing payment system into their platform. 2. While dual cameras may be new to iphone and huawei , it isn't new in the smartphone world, hence there is nothing spectacular about huawei launching the P9. 3. I am not an engineer so I will pass on this. My point still stand that current chinese prosperity was as a result of adoption rather than innovation, perhaps you may have interpreted that as "chinese don't innovate" but I believe all industrial nations do innovate at least to some extent but the effect of such innovation on the country's wealth is where my argument lies. Steve jobs may not have invented mobile phone, but the smartphone's history cannot be complete without the iphone. |

DeepSight: What has happened to you? ? ?
It appears you have conflated spirituality with religion. . . .
You know very well that these two things are different.
If not for the pursuit of the spiritual, what purpose and inner meaning can a human being put to life? Would man not simply exist as a hobbesian beast?
When you look at a human being, what do you see?
When you look at yourself, what do you see?
A meaningless physical agglomeration of darting physical micro-particles which somehow comes together as one, not just to feed itself in physical terms but to even project ideas to change the world. Is this the thing that you believe is a mere beast, nothing more than an intelligent and advanced beast?
Regardless advancement, do you not see a clear - and - improbably too wide gap between the faculties of man and those of other creatures?
How often have you sat before and contemplated the dead body of a close friend or relative? If you have done this, you would understand that there is absolutely nothing to the physical life save the pursuit of, and refinement of our real spiritual existence outside this vehicle called a body. How does your "pursuit of spirituality" makes spirituality real ? How does this same pursuit benefits you ? You must understand that not everyone is intoxicated by baseless and unfounded propositions especially an inquisitive mind. |

diva90: Remember that was back then! Times have greatly changed. These days it's not a good idea for any woman to get married at such a young age. Not only is she naive and hasn't seen what life is all about at that age but then again, marriage is just too complicated these days. Let her go to school and discover herself first. Explore a career while building her skills and making some little money of her own. Marriage can come when she's 24 or 25 and above. I don't believe in fixing marriage age for non-minors, my only objection in this case is that she is still a hopeful undergraduate, if she was already in 200/300l I would have supported that she go ahead with the marriage. As to marriage these days being complicated, the times is not to blame , it is two people with widely different expectations getting married to each other that creates the complications, it doesn't matter if they are in early 20s or late 30s. |

If he was a computer whiz, why is he a driver? That story doesn't add up. Big men are used to giving their helps their ATM pin and card to withdraw on their behalf because of laziness. "Withdrawal" doesn't necessarily mean "cash withdrawal", I have once purchased items worth 2 mil at POS terminals within two hours with no issues. From the story he bought many things, he probably used the card to purchase those items directly instead of withdrawing cash which is limited to 150,000. |

Why you don't want to change?
Is it difficult to stop lying to your Parents, Wife, Kids, Boss, Friends etc Is it that difficult?
Is it difficult for you to stop fornicating? Not really saying you fornicate just trying to pass the message.
Is it difficult for people to stop stealing?
Is it difficult for someone lying?
Most you make money illegally?
You just have to stop doing all you've been doing that are not right, It's a choice but a decision.
#Changebeginswithyou. Your reasoning is shallow, why do we have the police when we can tell robbers to stop stealing ? Why do we have Road safety corps when we can simply tell drivers to stop overloading/over-speeding , is it really difficult to do ? The dummy in government who are clueless on how to move the country forward decided to sell you a lie and you bought it without thinking, which government in his right mind denies all responsibility and turn around to blame the masses for not being a good citizen. And your attempt to eviscerate a high morality is irrelevant here, you probably smuggle, bribing police or other illegal activiteies for all I know and nothing would make you stop it , afterall why should you when you benefit from such ? These clueless set of people take about 25% of our budget yearly only for doing nothing and robbing it on our faces. Well, I don't blame them it is Nigerians who believe suffering is okay that are fuelling the incompetencies of the government. Citizen A: Fuel price is high. Government solution: Start using public transport, stop using generators. Citizen A: But transport fare has increased and electricity is not regular. Government: Tell drivers to sop hiking their fees, the change begins with you people. Citizen B: There is high level of insecurity. Government: The robbers and cultist should stop robbing, it is not our fault. Smart citizens demand for good governance while the dummies keep saying "it is not the government fault, it is the citizens". |

naijadeyhia: Young man only a morally bankrupt fellow would refute what i just posted which you responded to. You all praise America and other western nations and hustle hard to go there but do you even know their history? From the gang filled days to the nigga years to the years of apartheid to the emergence of Abraham Lincoln who in attempt to make a drastic change got killed ...same with martin luther king and same with John F kennedy. Their deaths drove their ideals and beliefs into the hearts of a lot of americans and laws where changed and attitudes were changed and today they have a nation that people are encouraged to build homes that do not wall themselves off from their neighbour.
Buharis gesture is sound and focused and is the right step in the right direction. A lot of the level of rot we have found ourselves in as a nation and all the negative press we receive outside Nigeria has mostly been caused by people like you and i. Why do you think that for some reason if a corrupt Nigerian stays in the united states for a few years he somehow learns how to behave and think right? Their system has been tailored towards a mental correction and if you refuse then you do the time.
We need to start somewhere as a nation and sustain it. I would not want to assume that you are morally bankrupt hence your kicking against this gesture from PMB. If you have the opportunity of running the affairs of Nigeria and do it better than PMB is currently doing then you can judge him but as for me i am totally satisfied with all he has been doing so far and i am even as easterner.
I STAND WITH PMB You have totally screwed up american history with your false analogies. At no point did an american president blame the citizens for the problems in their countries, instead they take action instead of acting drama. The problem of slavery and outlaws weren't solved because just because some men died, far from that it was because the leaders who are alive are smart enough to drive hard reforms and encourage functional independent institutions that can stand the test of time. I am not aware that any of those presidents blaming their predecessors and the citizens for their country's woes(correct me if am wrong) but they spent their energy fighting real battles to move forward. |

diva90: He's right! Change is not just for the government to create, the citizens have to be willing to make it happen as well. Why is America the way it is today? The citizens are extremely patriotic towards every and anything concerning their nation. The government will play its role but the citizens need to support the government. You will never hear of people bombing oil pipes or policemen killing someone because they didn't give them bribe or government officials encouraging extremely corrupt practice in other developed countries but in nigeria this is practically a norm. Even the average Nigerian young child has a corrupt mindset. How can we move forward with all this? We need to work hard towards making nigeria a better place and like our dear president said. The change is not just in government hands but in our hands too America is the wrong country to use as a model, support for government only occurs when their is an external enemy to deal with. Americans remain one of the most unruly citizens for any government to deal with as they instinctively resent control. Even immediately after their war of independence most of their militias refused to join the regular army or fight in other territories. Their revolution-era presidents faced impossible situations but they were intelligent enough to focus on solving their problems rather than blaming the corrupt police(yes they were very corrupt then), blaming gunmen/outlaws for causing trouble or wasting preciouses resources on painting their predecessors bad. They focused on building resilient institutions that could stand the test of time and paid little attention to building a one-man strong government. Those leaders shun cynicism and used every help they can get. To me only a clueless leader blames his/her citizen for not behaving perfectly when it is common knowledge that humans aren't remote-controlled robots. |

MrPresident1: A good marriage is the perfect master-servant relationship, there can not be two captains on a ship. The man is the head of the house, in Hausa he is Maigida meaning owner of the house, in Yoruba he is Iba-ile meaning father of the house, in Igbo he is Nnaanyi meaning our father.
The old word from husbondi from which husband is derived means Master of the house.
Any woman who is not ready to submit to the law of the man she wants to marry should not ever ever consider getting married. The master of the wife must love his wife to the extent of being able to put down his life for her. This is the model of marriage presented by Christ. I like the fact that you are not pretending like the other "christians" on this thread. However, true masters cannot and will never sacrifice their life for a servant, it is the other way round.
