Obiagelli:

Obiagelli:
rain was high when? The rain started around May, it takes time to fill the dams.

Obiagelli:
i am quite sure it started fully in May, anyway the dry season is almost here. I hope they sustain their "gas supply" then.

She wants me to help her with her target. Mine isn't complete. She wants me to put hers first.

I did a similar thing in the past and she didn't even acknowledge it but she took all the glory. Now I'm trying to look out for myself and she's calling me selfish. "If you truly love me you would put me first blah blah blah"
Its a long story jo.

maclatunji: Imagiine what the comments would have been if the thread's tite had read: "Oba of Ikorodu gets Christian Burial".

TheBigUrban2: lies...it rained today in most parts

EfemenaXY: ^^ It can and it does.

RoyalRoy:

Lolllz. I actually penciled it down too. Hate frying like I hate drinking cold water.

I agree. If it does not mess with your spiritual equilibrium or distract you from your responsibilities, keeping friendships across genders can be beneficial. If it does, it's a very bad idea to get involved.

I don't think closeness is inevitable. And I don't think it is absolutely necessary in order to get married. I'm one of those people who believe that emotions are very poor leaders. I advocate being friendly and a gentleman but to take on close friendships is a very risky thing. The easier it is for you to open up to someone the more likely you will eventually start feeling things or you become a 'user'.

EfemenaXY:

Just because the mother didn't breathe a word to brother Krall doesn't mean she wasn't aware of him fantasizing helplessly about her. So rather than cause a scene, she did the mature thing and simply ignored him.

This is exactly what Krall should have done too. Ignored her 100%.

EfemenaXY:

So the preference is for nursing mothers to feed their vulnerable babies in dark, urine soaked corners and alleyways? Infact, after reading this, I strongly advocate for all brėästfeeding mums to do their stuff in the open, where there's lots of fresh air. For those who are offended, they'd better dig deep into their pockets and rally round for a sanitized mother and baby unit to be created in all public places!
Shikena!

ihedinobi2: So there's this thing I'd like us to discuss. It may seem a little bit frivolous but it's a major paradigm considering that it affects the very foundation of human society - marriage itself.

At a meeting I attended last Sunday, I heard it described for the first time as closeting. That's another word for the perhaps more popular friendzoning.

Among us Christians, we do have a phenomenon that corresponds to the friendzoning thing. Back in the uni in those fellowship days, you'd find people pairing off in such a way that you assumed that there was something romantic in it. Sometimes there was, sometimes there wasn't. Whichever the case was, it resulted in any other potential mate deciding to keep their distance because, well, the brother or sister was considered taken which sometimes was not the case at all. This is often costly for some people. And perhaps sometimes a savior?

What do we think about it? How should relationship across genders be for us Christians? What do you think the Bible says about it? Is this one of those things that the Bible says nothing on?

ihedinobi2:

@the last paragraph, it's a bit of an oxymoron to say that one can be so heavenly minded that they're useless on earth. If you have the interests of Heaven at heart, you will be very productive on earth as well. That's because Heaven is focused on earth. The current activity of the Heavens is the re-creation of the earth so if any man is truly interested in heaven and focused on heaven, they will leave a powerful mark on earth as a result.

It is the half-and-half approach, the lukewarm, lifestyle-mixing approach that results in uselessness, vanity, the failure to leave an impression on earth.

Still, some people do appear to be so spiritual that they care only about being squeaky clean and making heaven and thus accomplish next to nothing on earth. About them, the Bible says that they have a form of godliness and deny the power thereof. Heaven manifests itself on earth in power - a distinct change of character, a distinct change of circumstances etc. Heaven is not indifferent to earth.

And Heaven does not compromise to accommodate earth. That's the whole point of the re-creation: to conform earth to heaven once again.

An0nimus:

You know, I've always thought about this, how messed up our political sphere is and how we can "be the change we want to see" probably in an official position than sitting ducks and praying some miracle happens. But then again Its almost impossible for Christians to be true and still remain in politics. Its like one MUST compromise at some point. I just weak finally.

If I might ask, minding our business and being only kingdom minded disregarding earthly matters doesn't it make us look selfish?

Joelaking: please get me the link to the page.

Joelaking: Please fellow nairalanders, I want to inquire about PMP. International certification acquisition in Nigeria. Is it possible I get the certification without attending the trainings because I know the training will be very costly. Please anyone with the breakdown structure Where is the exam taken? what are the criteria? And how much does it cost presently in 2014.

FrancisTony:
You are not wrong Sir. Here looks cool because it's just a chatbox.

Mazi_Omenuko:

Trolleys aren't free at the airport! You pay for them; imagine paying for a trolley? That's how bad things are at the airport. The shameless FAAN don't even consider it inhumane to exploit travelers!

uj_sizzle:
So long there aren't shirtless men in it, I'm good.

Haven't seen you around here before though, so welcome

ihedinobi2:
You see such a difficulty in evidence right now?

I'm assuming you're a Christian like most of those on this Chatbox. Christians are not intellectualists although being Christian necessarily means you will be intelligent, observant, wise. I say this because this is the age of emotional intellectualism where everything is open to question and the basis of judgment is emotion and because the Scriptures necessarily limited direct admonitions concerning modest dressing to women, a fact that does not count for much with emotional intellectualists.

I believe that the Bible is entirely accurate because I believe that God is able to produce a perfectly accurate document regardless what resources are available to Him (He created everything out of NOTHING, it can't be a difficulty for Him to override human weakness to produce perfection). Thus I think that if the Bible limits instruction on modest dressing to women, it is deliberate and worthy of acceptance in so doing. I do not subscribe to any perceived need to adjust the Bible to accommodate anything at all.

So I would very happily and unrepentantly limit instruction on modest dressing to women even though in truth I have not even done so on this thread. I have no apologies for believing God over the fickle emotions of unreliable and generally surprisingly ignorant human beings.

ihedinobi2:

Netotse. Good one. Thanks.

Here are two things though: the whole point of discussion is to precipitate our wrong notions as well as share our journey so far in any particular issue. I consider it a pity that we sort of dove into a squabble this time around but some of these discussions will do that because we all have pet sins and habits that we won't give up without a fight.

Not that arguing will make us give it up but it shows us how much the thing in question matters to us. You could say that these exchanges uncover the hidden errors in our hearts and our pride. Some of us leave these discourses to travail in prayer because of the things God has shown us here. Others might not. But a good thing does happen no less.

ihedinobi2:
Second. Sometimes it may be necessary to appear to pick a side to enable another person see just how far out they're leaning. As you said here, it seemed that the focus was on women and how they should dress. Yes it was. Even the Bible spoke exclusively to women on the matter. It does not mean that men have no responsibility to dress modestly as well, it is merely compensation. Some of us are more prone to some things than others. In this case, the more vulnerable ones are men. Therefore Scripture focuses on women in order to help men.

Here on this thread there was a strong bias to a woman's right to dress as she pleases. That is one of the big points of conflict for feminism. The perceived polarisation of opinions is due to the need to balance that right out with the attendant responsibilities. As you must know, Christ is all about new rights or freedoms and responsibilities as well. And we tend to pick one and despise the other making it necessary to compensate in the manner that you see on this thread.
