waleadex: Really?..but what are the likely medical complications?

Infection: People who use each other’s toothbrushes are at a higher risk for developing infection which can lead to cavities and tooth decay. The reason fort his is the high amount of bacteria and fungi that can be found on toothbrushes. If left untreated, it can result in tooth loss too.
Apart from tooth decay, beta-hemolytic streptococcus, a bacteria that causes sore throat, can be trapped in toothbrushes and subsequently exchanged. This can cause you to get extremely sick and suffer from symptoms such as a sore throat, fever, cough, swollen lymph nodes and difficulty in swallowing. Mutant strains of streptococcus can also cause dental cavities. This type of bacteria is commonly found on toothbrushes that contain food and residue.
Other organisms too, such as Hepatitis B and C can potentially be transmitted via the practice, particularly in cases where one or both sharers have bleeding gums.

It's not hygienic. I wouldn't.

Pls Sir, help me check this Vin: WDB2020221A122376. Thanks.

Well, thanks again. I think I agree with your last comments, especially that sincerity is what matters in such contexts. No person, except God, can determine who is truly sincere in words or actions. Yet, I wonder what will make a Christian to "sincerely" pray on facebook (for himself, and not for others), thereby prefering the social community of facebook to the quietness of his home or the sincerity that is most expressed in the silence of his heart? What is the sincerity in acting (knowingly or unknowingly) as though we are praying to God, when in fact we are 'praying' to our facebook friends, only to get the 'rewards' when the 'comments' and 'likes' keep pouring in as responses to such 'prayers'?

striktlymi: Good evening sir,

I am of the opinion that the passage of sacred of scriptures you quoted:

"5 “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites! They love to stand up and pray in the houses of worship and on the street corners, so that everyone will see them. I assure you, they have already been paid in full. 6 But when you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you."

is really not against praying in public, neither is it against people posting prayer request in public. What that part of sacred scriptures is against, is praying to please people i.e praying out of hypocrisy. This can be seen readily in some Christians who in order to please the crowd, make big and ostentatious gestures while praying for the purpose of people believing that they are "Prayer warriors".

It is however possible for one who posts his or her prayer online to do this out of hypocrisy but this is not to say that everyone who does this is guilty of hypocrisy. Some persons are sincere in their resolve while some others are not.


Thank you!

Ok. But you tend to mistake actually saying prayers on facebook with making prayer requests. I'm sure you must have seen what I actually mean by saying prayers on facebook, when people apparrently address their posts to God, in Jesus name, without making any requests to their friends for prayers. That is where i feel goes against the verses cited. Then, true, the verses do not mean all prayers said in public are made out of hypocrisy. But we do not go out in the public to say our private prayers, except when we do that as a member of a christian gathering. In the same vein, should we not also not go out in the (online) public to make our supplications known to God? Thanks

The tallies are in. 41.6% of the vote was enough for Messi to win the award. Ronaldo got 23.68% and Iniesta 10.91%.
Meanwhile, Del Bosque got 34.51%, Mourinho 20.49% and Guardiola 12.91%

"To tell you the truth, this is really quite unbelievable. The fourth award that I've had is beyond words. I want to thank my colleagues from Barcelona and recognise my friends from the national team. I must thank my family and my friends, and especially my wife and my son."
2012 Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi! Congrats Messi!

tawa89: lol@ calling the premier league boring. The Premier league is the best in the world followed by bundesliga.....did u watch barcelona' game d one Messi scored 2 goals 2 break gerd muller's record? Wot can u say abt d defenders? I put it 2 u bro dah no premiership coach will sign any of those defenders they were all ball watching and their positioning was terrible....terrible defenders lol

when was the last time u saw score lines like 7 -3, 5 - 4, 7 - 5, 8 -0 in la liga. If you are talking about poor defending, Epl is the champion.

chukwudi44: The last time I checked God is ominipresent even on fb

Thanks for the contribution. Yes, God is omnipresent and is everywhere but we do not go out on the streets and start praying for ourselves. Since facebook and indeed all social sites are equivalent to the public, do you not think that saying our prayers there amounts to saying our private prayers out on the streets? If you agree with my analogy above, do you still think it is right for christians to make prayers in that way? Thanks

striktlymi: Good morning sir,

You should realize that the intent of people for doing something similar like posting a "private prayer" on FB is different. Some do it, like you said, to attract attention but this is not to say that everyone does it for exactly the same reason.

Attention here, would denote something a bit off. In the sense that the individual is not saying a sincere prayer. But if we take a cursory look, whether or not the intention is from a sincere heart or not, the bottom line is that almost anything posted in a social networking site like FB is directly or indirectly seeking for attention.

Without attention then the purpose of posting is defeated. If for example the intention is to make friends aware of your prayer point and the individual is sincere about this, then it would be useless if the attention of friends is not gotten.

Anyways, I believe that intentions for doing something defers. People who post prayer points on FB might be sincere in their resolve or not and I personally do not have an issue with it.


Thank you!

Well, I respect your opinions even as I may not agree with them. But, if I may ask, for sake of further clerifications, does posting personal prayers on facebook not go against the principle of praying as described by Jesus in Matthew 6 : 5-6? Remember, by personal prayers I refer to prayers one is saying for oneself and not for any other.

If it's truly an individual award, Messi deserves it most, then Iniesta, then Ronaldo.

If trophies won is considered, Then Iniesta deserves it most, then Ronaldo, then Messi.

If both individual brilliance and trophies won as a result are considered 50-50, then Ronaldo deserves it most, then Iniesta, then Messi.

Is there no nedd for oil? And at what stage do you add onions(fresh one)?

striktlymi: Good afternoon sir,

I believe this is common sense really. If one put up a prayer on facebook, he or she is indirectly asking friends to pray for his or her prayer point.

I believe this is quite effective really cause he can reach as many people as possible that way apart from those he or she would ask personally (i.e face to face). Why not join him or her in prayer?

Thank you!

Ok sir, but I do not agree with you. Putting up a whole private prayer on facebook is not the same as asking brethren to pray for the person involved. If a christian wants somebody to pray for them, normally the request is direct and straight to the point. A situation whereby a prayer that was supposed to have been made privately is now broadcast in public comes across to me as a tendency to seek then attention of Man instead of that of God.

I see this all the time, people putting up their personal prayers on social networking sites like Facebook, and I wonder if God now has a facebook account.

For example, my facebook friend updated this: "Lord I need ur grace in ds 2013, lots of decisions to mk, Jesse or David, which is d ryt man for m? NYSC, Abakaliki or Jigawa......... ­.. !"

So the question is: Is There Anything Wrong With Praying to God on Facebook? Why do you think people put up their private prayers on social sites??

Is this a paid advertorial? Or are will to discuss this

But this doesnt look like GEJ nah

From my experience while working at a 'Polytechnic Hospital, 4 or more out of every 10 girls there (at least) have ever had Termination of Pregnancy, but nobody will ever know except she, her doctor, the girlfriend that brought her to the clinic, and the doctor. Abortion is generally a simple procedure and major complications arising from it are rare, especially if it was done by a qualified personel, in a standard setting and with the right equipment. You do not need to throw away your love cos she has had abortion. However, help her to know that she is okey by having her do an ultrasound scan and, to be absolutely sure, a radiogragh of the uterine tubes, to see that they are not blocked following possible post-abortal infections.

k2039: You are dumb to think she is the only supermod.

Open the second page of the front page and satisfy your stupidity, check the people who upload the front page material from the other pages aside from the first page of the front page.

I agree with every other thing you wrote except where I quoted.

You know it'll always backfire when you start insulting someone who hasn't done anything wrong to you. True NL gives us that tendency to do that, but just pause for a minute and see if you would react to people like that if this happened physically.

@topic, I sympathize with mukina2 if it really was her, especially as the punishment was made public, which I think wasn't the best way to have handled 'the serious breacher of privacy'.

When done intentionally, I bet you don't wanna know the reasons. In sporadic cases, she may be with another man(and mind you, this happens a lot), or she may just not be in the mood(but this is seldom the case, if she loves you). However, when it's recurrent, then she is sending you a message which says, "can't you just get it into your thick skull, you are just not that into me", meaning to her you are not even her bf!

Just like R Kelly - He Saved Me.....and then what?...Snake man and co!

The blues never went into 2013 4points and 7 points behind Man city and man u. Wishful reporting
It was 7 points and 11points with a game in hand. And now it's 11 points and 14points respectively with 2 games yet to play. Up Blues though! Up Mata!

I won't score him. He was not present at the exam! ABSENT = CARRY OVER!

Hmmm, but why would the daughter smash the reporters phone? He is a journalist for goodness sake! That's improper and that was all the former president had to do? Smh! If it was GEJ we would've started calling names, but I think this is a more serious case than the joke the former president has made it to look like. Smh.

floriana: This isn't looking good. Playing a friendly match that will result in heavy loss and dent confidence of the players days before commencement of the tournament is not my idea of how to prepare.

Isn't your belief an expression of faith and lack of even the tiniest confidence, both of which aren't gonna help too? #just saying#.

In this New Year, May the Grace of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit abide with you.

May you never lack the resources to satisfy your needs.
May Almighty God meet you at that point of your need known only to you and Him.

May the mercy of God find you in times of temptation and sin.

May the New Year bring forth joy, peace and love to you and your family.

May the blood of Jesus Christ deliver you from every evil this year, be it misfortunes of any sort, problems in your workplace or in your school, or from all forces of death against your life.

May you find the faith to continue to worship Him in Truth and in Spirit.

Through Jesus Christ I have prayed. Amen.

I dedicate this prayer to the last poster on this thread, and indeed to all Nlders. Happy New Year all!

Moukafoam: The day I lost my virginity
Oboy my guy almost killed ♍e that day but I later enjoyed it sha

You mean you lost your virginity here on nairaland? Incredible!

I believe most are stolen cars or the dealers are dubious. Though other assertions here may be right, I think they are in the minority reasons. I can't buy a naija used car advertised online with the plate number defaced or covered.

I really wonder how come Uduaghan has the highest number of sycophants on nl of late.
