Obiekwe Responds To Death Rumours... by cytellProperty: 7:48pm
In a latest development, following death rumours regarding popular Nollywood actor, Muna Obiekwe today, the controversial thespian has swiftly moved to debunk the alarming rumours. Obviously infuriated, the Nigerian actor took to Twitter to clear the air just a few minutes ago, writing: ‘WTF! How can someone joke with an issue of death, pls o everyone I’m alive and well by His grace..Don’t know where they got it From…People should mind what they post as stories, sound the alarm and tell others that I,Muna Obiekwe is alive and well…’ In a series of tweets, the actor made it clear that he is alive and well. See some of his tweets below…...

In the book of first Corinthians Paul gave certain instructions and he gave a reason for each of these instructions. Some he said it is directly from the Lord, another he said it's from the wisdom that God gave him, yet another he said it's just an advice. But when it came to the issue of women covering their hair he said "Now if anyone is disposed to be argumentative and contentious about this, we hold to and recognize no other custom [in worship] than this, nor do the churches of God generally." (1Cor 11:16).
Paul didn't say didn't say this is directly from the Lord and he didn't say if women didn't cover their hair they will go to Hell.

But Paul said this is a custom. Custom tells you what you need to do to be a part of a group or a society. And to be a part of the Church as at that time you must cover your hair as a woman.
But the gospel tells you what you need to do to make heaven and have a foretaste of heaven on earth.

Women covering hair is nothing but a custom for believer as at the time that verse was written. But if you choose to follow it fine and if you don't want to follow it there is nothing wrong with that.

Read from the first verse, if it is not necessary Paul will not say it, besides we have to follow what we see in the bible except you have another foundation for your Christian faith. Mind you your speech might take some one away from the truth so becareful when you talk about the bible, it's not some novel. God bless you

Ipledge:
but some special species like me have it both up and down

Like seriously?

I ve been reading the comments here and it all boils down to the fact that we sold out our culture and now we are beginning to reap its consequences. We want to live like Europeans and Americas , so we should go with everything that comes with their culture, we can't run away from it. In the days of our parents, being a virgin is a pride, if you are not a virgin then you should be prepared to face your future alone as no man will come for your hand in marriage, but today the reverse is the case.
I don't mean to be rude but even all the guys that have been commenting on this topic can do worse than the guy in question, IT IS VERY BAD,but this is what we asked for by making our culture secondary.

sowhatifiamibo:
[b]I totally agree with you in this regard!! Our culture and customs have been replaced with foreign,alien practices and yet we still label ourselves "African"!! Most of what we do today back home reflects European culture and tradition more than ours and hardly deserves that term "African". A vast majority of our folks seem to think that conducting the "White" marriage ceremony soon after the traditional rites have been performed validates or authentics the union. It's like saying that the couple are not yet husband and wife until they perform the ceremony in church like white folks do!! Personally,I don't see what the big deal is and it's evidence of a persisting inferiority complex amongst us Africans,who think everything European,Foreign or "White" is way better than our own indigenous customs and tradition. How many white couples perform traditional marriage rites like we do to validate or solidify their union? None whatsoever!!! That says a lot!! [/b]

sometimes i just wish we could create this awareness, coz our cultures are heading to extinction

but its still doesn't add up

The GMAT
The GRADUATE MANAGEMENT ADMISSION TEST (GMAT) is a required part of the admissions process for most business schools across the whole world. In addition, some graduate finance and economics programs use the GMAT during their admissions evaluation process. Due to its importance in the application process, candidates choosing to pursue a MBA should begin preparing for the GMAT CAT early to increase their chances of getting admitted in the school of their dreams. A GMAT can have a serious effect on your future career as 85% of all business school admission officers claim that the GMAT result is the most important factor in the admission process for highly rated business schools.

1. The man and the plan First, you have to figure out for yourself where you stand. Analyze yourself, what are your strengths and what are your weaknesses. You know which kind of questions you are going to face, so you just have to ask yourself the question which bridges will be the hardest to cross. You know you will have to take geometry questions in the Quantitative section; so are you strong enough with triangles and quadrilaterals, but too weak with circles? If you can answer this question about yourself you already know where the focus of your preparation should be put Why would you spend a lot of time on an a question you know you will probably answer it wrong in the end, no matter what? Knowing what you can, but especially what you can not, will prove very valuable in the time pressure that the GMAT puts on you. So to use your time wisely, it is very important to know your own abilities beforehand.

2. Rehearsal, rehearsal, rehearsal It should be stressed even more than three times. Rehearsal and practicing is key in getting a good GMAT result. This test isn’t just like an IQ test for which you can’t train, training is essential in getting improved results on a GMAT test. If you set aside time in a silent environment to prepare by taking some practice GMAT exams, you’ll be up for the hard work: sitting in a chair and focusing on test material for a few hours. But after all the hard work is very rewarding. Since the skills doesn’t come naturally for most people, why not practice? By practicing you will also get to know your own abilities, which, as mentioned already, are very important to know. We gathered some training programs and reviewed them for you. You can find them at the end of this E-book.

3. The way to read The part of “Reading Comprehension” requires you to really read each passage quickly and look for its most important ideas. It’s also crucial to understand that everything that is written is there for a reason, and those reasons are in general more important than the little details that can be found throughout the text. Taking notes is advised, and be structured while doing it. Also, learn the most frequently used
types of flawed answers that are used in the GMAT test and get to know how you should avoid choosing them.

4. How to correct that sentence In the part “Sentence corrections” you will be given a few sentences which require correction. About twenty percent of all the sentences will already be correct as they are. A very good method to track those correct sentences is by reading them out loud in your mind. If you think they sound alright, most probably they are. Wording the sentences “tight” is an effective way of correcting sentences. Don’t use more words than necessary. If you can’t see a difference between multiple sentences, choose the shortest answer!

5. Reason critically The “Critical Reasoning” section requires you to recognize the most essential elements of any argument – evidence, conclusion, and assumptions. Remember the following logics: when a statement makes the conclusion more likely to be accurate, then that statement reinforces the argument. If it is the other way around, the statement weakens the argument. Get to know the most common errors in some reasoning (again, by rehearsal, rehearsal, rehearsal) and learn how to recognize them. Don’t be fooled by what you already know about a certain subject or topic, because that’s not the point. Act as if you don’t have more information than others about the subject and respond to the question, only in terms of the argument presented.

6. Guesstimate The “Multiple-choice questions” in the Quantitative section will require you to beak word problems into separate simple sentences that you redefine as numbers and symbols. Sometimes it can be interesting to sketch your own situation on a piece of scrap paper. Spend half a minute on examining the pictures and graphs that are given for graph interpretation problems before you go in depth in answering the questions. By all means use guesstimates as most answers are unique enough to really give a calculated answer. The logics are more important than the actual math’s!

7. Don’t look for the right solution For the “Data Sufficiency” section, it’s very important to keep in mind that you should not look for the right solution. Just reason whether or not you can get to a right solution by all the info that is given. Learn the directions and answer choices backward and forward before the test date, because for every single GMAT test, the answer choices are exactly the same. This will save you a lot of time on the actual test day.

8. Write simple and clear For the analytical writing part it would be best to use the four-step process in order to effectively structure your time and energy: brainstorm, outline, write and revise. Keeping your text simple and clear will make your point of view pop out even better. Be specific and avoid mechanical errors.

Conclusion Being prepared is very essential. Unlike IQ tests, it is possible to train for a GMAT test, it is even recommended. The way questions are asked and the way answer choices are given are very standardized throughout all the tests. Since your future career most likely depends on your results for the GMAT test we recommend you not to take it very lightly. To better prepare for this important test there are some courses and preparation tests and books available online.

What really is CNN intentions for Nigeria
The military recently changed all kitting for soldiers involved in Boko Haram operations, the new kits are not found in the market to buy.

Why is America fueling misinformation to mislead the gullible minds

I feel so sad for the millions that will be deceived by this antique. US has been using CIA to destabilize our country just to make sure we separate as they predicted. I have been shouting this before now. Our foolish politicians are their tools. It's sad even youths no longer think with their brains.

I ve come to realize that men love having free sex that has no sort of commitment whatsoever. I've been there and a close friend of mine is currently doing this too, not minding the lady stays with a man that works two weeks in and one month out.
I have tried to explain to him but every time he kept sneaking back to the ladies house. This has got me thinking seriously, why do we love free sex not minding the risk involved? Let's hear from you guys

naijaboiy:
Honestly!

I see nothing sharing a bed with my sister no matter how old I am. I mean is this supposed to be a question worth opening a thread for?

It only depicts the kind of things happening in some families in our society today

This is pure cultural decadence, I will always tell you guys, bad things like this will continue until we realize our cultural mistakes.I've been sleeping in the same bed with my cousin for the past two weeks,she even sleeps almost unclad yet I feel like we are both men even as pretty and sexy as she looks.

kennygee:
9. We don't value our tribal names anymore.

Instead, we settle for Shantel, Andre, Mason, Cameron and Olivia.

I'm not saying we shouldn't have English names, but our native names should be first then English name should be Secondary or even Eliminated sef.

Thanks, God bless you, We remain slaves until we change from this western lifestyle, from traditional marriage that our laws doesn't recognize to our children upbringing, we will never grow with imitation, let's be original

This is why our society is getting worse by the day, we are throwing away our cultural values, in my place your father is not the one giving out your hand in marriage, rather it's your uncles. Though if the couples are far away, the father of the girl will have to present the case and it will be officially approved before it can go on. Anything from that is error. If your parents are running away from your village and are telling you fables about your witch uncles, do your investigation well, they have something to hide other what they are telling you. Let's love and uphold our culture

I think most of this tag things depends on individuals, like the when you give money and buy gifts for a lady willingly, even if you didn't not ask her out, as long as you have been nice to her severally, she and her friends will label you MAGA, I've been a victim.

How did this get to fp, mod don high today?

Why would the maid kidnap the boys in the first place, she has a motive yet no one seems to think in that direction, those kids should be medically examined, it doesn't really add up,kidnapping then later keeping them near a police station so that they can be found easily, I don't get it. I think she might have done something to the kids before dumping them there, maybe spiritually. Just my opinion

Dolypson04:

White wedding, as the name implies, is a wedding for the whites. I was not born in the era of the white missionaries in Nigeria, but I know that beside destroying some devilish practices and bringing the gospel to us, the missionaries did so much harm to Africa from the cultural perspective.

We are all happy claiming to be free from the era of slave trade, but the truth is that we are still slaves to the white man in more ways than one. Just yesterday while speaking with a friend on Skype, this issue came to my mind, and I posted it as a question on my Facebook wall. I also had the urge to talk about it in this column and bare my mind on this issue of white wedding. . From the responses to my Facebook Wall post, I realised that some actually know the truth, but they don’t want to come out in the open and say it because their religious leaders are watching. I also know that some of my readers who claim to be born again, but are actually fanatics won’t see reason with me.

By the grace of God, I am a born-again Christian who does her best to live in accordance with Biblical principles. But this has been a source of worry to me since I became an adult. Why do we now prefer the white man’s culture when it comes to weddings? Why have we suddenly relegated our own rich culture to the background and have indirectly told the white man that his culture is superior? How did we give the place of traditional marriage to church wedding? Why has the judicial system embraced the white man’s culture and thrown our own away? Why are the churches strong in their promotion of the white man’s culture?

I have gone through the Bible that we read and believe in, but I didn’t see any place where it is written that white wedding is the only recognised form of marriage. The Bible is a book about the Jewish people. Going through my Bible from Genesis to Revelation, I have not seen where it is written that weddings must take place in the church. I also looked at the lives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, even the wedding in Galilee where Jesus turned water to wine; these weddings were carried out according to Jewish customs and traditions.

The Jews never bought another man’s culture and way of life. If truly we are the spiritual Jews as we claim, are we supposed to throw our own culture to the background and embrace the white man’s culture? Now, I am beginning to understand my teachers when they told me that the white men came to us with the Bible and the Plough. They came to destroy our culture, both the good and the bad, and brainwashed us into accepting theirs in entirety

On point, India as bad as it is, you won't see any Indian telling you negative stories about his country, even most of this Asian countries. We are the largest black nation in the world, the white forks are doing everything to break us and our people are psychologically giving them support.
