You tried in your explanations but they didn't add up biblically...for your point 9.Do you remember that Jesus told all the disciples including Peter that "All of you are brothers" he emphasize that they have one father-God,and one master -Jesus.so where did you get from the Bible one person being set aside to bear the names father and master..of note too is that the foundation Jesus spoke of is himself, cos he's the foundation of the congregation and not Peter, infact I hadn't seen anywhere in the new testament where Peter assumed the role of Pope or head over all the other apostles and the church at large in the first century...I no see am..we may have our sentiments but searching deeper for these truths makes real Sense

Olufhemy:
1. The apostles didn't pray to Mary.
The Prayer to Mary (Rosary) is recited thus:
"Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women & blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus (fund this in Luke 1:28-42)......Holy Mary Mother of God, PRAY FOR US SINNERS, now & at the hour of the death, Amen.
The word PRAY FOR US means INTERCEDE FOR US, just as she interceded at the wedding at CANA & her son couldn't refuse her even when his time had not come -See John 2:1-12)


2. They didn't pray to the dead.
I do not think there's any Christian Group that when their member dies, they do not do Christian wake keep or Funeral service. What is that called -PRAYER FOR THE DEAD.
The Catholics Prayer for the dead is simplified as:
Eternal Rest Prayer
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace. Amen.

These prayers aren't Old as Apostle Paul similarly Prayed in 2 Timothy 1:16-18.


3. They didn't do satanic processions.
My friend may need to expatiate on this as nothing of such has ever been recorded by even Google. What you do not understand may however have led you to so say anyway.


4. They didn't go to mass.
Well, Christ himself offered the first Mass when he broke the bread and commanded -DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME. Matthew 26:17–29


5. Scapular.
Now, people who Criticise longtime Catholic Practices now use Mantles, Wristbands etc.
The idea behind these is a reminder of the Christian Faith. The Scapular contains an image of Christ (or the image reminding everyone of Christ) on one front, and the image of his mother Mary on another side.
Catholics and those devoted to Mary as AN INTERCESSOR put on the scapular, and which still promotes the Christian Faith.

6. Infant baptism.
Much as nowhere was it specified that ONLY ADULTS should be Baptised, Faith however plays a role in Baptism such that even when a Child has no mind as such the faith of the parents suffices since Baptism is a means towards salvation, such that should a Child die young, do we say the Child should not be saved? In Matthew 9:2, Jesus saw the faith of the friends of the paralytic and healed the paralytic. Thus, When people cannot have faith, the faith of family or friends suffices. So it is with infant baptism. The faith of the parents sanctifies the children, as Paul says in 1 Cor. 7:14.


7. They didn't believe in purgatory.
Since the Bible says for “nothing unclean shall enter [heaven]” (Rev. 21:27) respite can however be found in 1 Cor 3:15 “He will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire” Hence fire Purges the sin before he can be saved. Thus the concept of a place called PURGATORY which serves that purpose which is captured in Maccabbees as: Thus he made atonement for the dead that they might be freed from this sin” (2 Macc. 12:43–45).

8. They didn't use holy water
Every Christian prays over items these days, such that in Numbers 5:17, mention was made of Holy Water as: A priest takes "holy water" in an earthen vessel and adds dust from the tabernacle floor.
Also, Elijah also blessed water and purified it. See 2 Kings 2:19-22

9. They didn't call Peter a pope.
The word Pope means Leader/ Head. Just as we call our Leader PRESIDENT or PRIME MINISTER as any countrybmay choose.
Unarguably, Christ Made Peter the first head of the Church, and all heads are traced to Peter to whom Christ in Matthew 16:18: “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church.”

10. They didn't bow down or worship idols.
What is idolatry? Images?
God himself directed the people of Israel to make sculptures on the ark of covenant which they carried about, such that In Exodus 25:22, Yahweh says about the top of the Ark, "There I will meet with you, and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim that are on the ark of the covenant, I will deliver to you all my commands for the Israelites"
The box is covered by a lid of pure gold, built to securely cover the box. Capping the lid are two angels sculpted from gold, from which (according to Exodus 25)
Thus, problem arises where the images are worshipped. Catholics do not however worship images, but are a constant call to reminder.
Thanks Pls.

Oga dem say na FIFA and NFF suppose fund am.so na dual funding.go ask your football body where their own part of the funding?

nairalanda1:
The pitch looks like a FIFA standard artifical football pitch which costs 530000 dollars to 1.3 million dollars.,,or 100000 dollars to 700000 dollars.(looking up 2 estimates on the web)

I suspect most of the money went to the pitch installation. Leaving limited money for the stands.

This is speculative, of course...until we see the actual costs breakdown. But that ain't an ordinary grass pitch...it would cost too much to maintain long term

Of course, corruption. But it is possible that some of the money went to foreign experts who installed the pitch..doubt any nigerian company can do that now.

(Uyo stadium cost 96 million dollars by the way)


N.B: I am not excusing any stealing or corruption, or denying that there was corruption in the project...abeg.

Modifed

It just crossed my mind that there was some under-the pitch drainage (no, not your drainage you know!), put in. Putting in a drainage system at 5 dollars per square foot, and noting that a soccer field is 81000 square feet...that's about 430000 dollars for drainage system

I also came across maintenance and replacement costs, which I will not include here for now.

If you are quoting me to accuse me of defending evil

1.Post your evidence

2. I am not into politics, and regard all politicans, this government inclusive, as evil

3.I have done my research, do yours too.

But the man she birthed Regina for came out the other day saying that back then when he opposed the marriage,this same Rita called him an enemy of progress.... which one cum be this again?

AbosedeFalade:
So, why have you Nigerians been accusing her of selling her daughter, Regina, to Senator Ned Nwoko?

You seems to know more than your creator..i still see no logic in your argument..on which ideology are you speaking from? You no gree answer..you're just going up and down.no point...abeg you win!!!!!! Bye bye

Kobojunkie:
What does it matter who created what when what we have had as marriage both at the traditional and secular levels are as defined(not created) by men— ordinary human beings like you and me? 🥱🥱

2. The rules are as defined by the law which one chooses to uphold. From the much we know, the traditional/religious marriages out there are defined according to the whims of men who run religious establishments whereas the legal/secular idea of marriage are as stipulated in the legal code of the country/state. 🥱🥱

3. Stop rambling please! If you have nothing tangible to state at this point, consider moving on. 🥱🥱🥱

How? You were not the one who created marriage in the first place,am I right? So if there's to be a rule for marriage it ought to come from the originator of marriage,am I right? I speak of the origin of marriage from the eyes of the Bible,,,,,what source are you speaking from?

Kobojunkie:
1. Your religious ideas regarding marriage fall right under traditional ideas of marriage — they are both removed from the legally defined unit that is considered marriage.

My dear it seems you don't understand me.and it seems you don't know that we look at the marriage institution from different perspectives (1) the traditional view,(2) the secular view, (3) the biblical view....so if you don't know on what view or platform you're standing,you'll keep on talking from now till eternity without saying anything ,so now I ask ,from what view point are you speaking from? Tradition? Secular or Religioun?

Kobojunkie:
From the time of your literal ancestors, walking away(aka unofficial divorce) in the form of spousal abandonment has been literally praised over and over until much recent times when the government decided to criminalize it in favor of official divorce.

This has nothing to do with me advising anyone, but more to do with a concept sanctioned as a valid end to marriage since the time of your ancestors.

2. Divorce has been an aspect of marriage for thousands of years before you were conceived. If you don't know and understand this, then surely, you know nothing about marriage but the lies you have been brainwashed with. Some of your ancestors walked away(spousal abandonment) from marriage if they simply did not like a wife's hairdo, but here you are in 2025, telling us stories of how only in the case of adultery can a person walk out of marriage. What nonsense!

3. You literally don't understand what "Marriage is not by force" means, do you?

"Marriage is not by force" means that at any time in the union, a partner can decide he/she no longer wishes to continue with the partnership, and nothing can be done about that. Any attempts to keep the individual in the union against his/her will amount to kidnapping/entrapment, and that could lead to criminal charges and prosecution.

If your advice is to walk away when just feel like it,then you don't know the essence of marriage.when you get married you enter into a bidding oath for life, except there's adultery then you can walk away.but if there's threat to life or a man is not willing to provide for his wife then she can lat separate from him.....See marriage is not by force,if you're not willing to be under the oath or under the sacred nature of the union then just stay away and enjoy your single life...na so I see am o

Kobojunkie:
. This is a useless epistle since I made it clear that a man has the right to walk out of a relationship whenever he chooses. Same way, a woman can walk out of even a marriage whenever she is done. (She can always leave the kids with the man if she is not financially able to raise them in a joint situation, at least— I advise women to have only as many kids as they can raise alone.)

A woman does not owe a man what the man is himself unwilling to give her. If a man cannot appreciate, show gratitude, or affection to his wife, then he should not expect any from her. So?

abeg make una tell una gender say make dem dey hold us well.the nyanga too much na.i no be ashawo man o and I love my wife,but I feel married women especially those wen don born pikin finish.they dey handle man like a bird in hand.we deserve some tenderness too.

Jennyclay:
Marriage will last if men respect and stop cheating on their wives.

If they allow Gabon cum pick draw for Naija here.they should just the kiss world cup bye bye [color=#006600][/color]

Freshtruth:

But in lands where people are sane, at least detention for a short period of time would have been sufficient. Then afterwards he's bailed.

adisabarber:
He used a stone to threaten the woman. That is armed robbery. People should learn to remain calm always.

I tell you bro. Gabon no go easy ooooooo. But the better side over the two legs go win am

Freshtruth:

Omo when I see the playoffs route I no too put hope bro he go hard

I'm not talking about him alone.all terrorists should be treated equally.not that some will come and hold meetings with communities and security agents and be escorted back to their bases.then same security agencies will work their asses out to go to another country wasting our resources just to go arrest one man just because he's from a particular region of the country. He committed a crime.sure..but let same treatment be given to every terrorists in Nigeria.

buckeyemedia:
Pride goes before a fall, remember those years this terrorist felt untouchable in his base in East London, promoting madness on his Biafra radio.

The ones that are burning the country currently can come in droves to communities in the north and do peace meetings and go back to their bases in the bush,no qualms..
Nigerians una no wise at all. Sentimental disease go kill una finish.

AOB1:
They should not free him because his actions cost the country the life of some security personnel and it nearly burned the region down

Quickly see an optician please...don't delay.

It seems you were there young man [quote author=Exousiang01 It seems you were post=137067660]You assume they are police officers and based on that assumption you are making this kind of statement.
Until some of you start rottening in jail you won't know what libel and defamation is.
Were they on police uniforms?
Were there in police van?
You just saw some people chase a car shoot it and booooom.

..Do away your Laptop..it makes comprehension difficult for you..

..what Job did your now turned messiah do at NLC..? why is he now against those doing thesame thing which he did..?

..the primary responsibility of every National Union is the protection of its workers..

..is that not what NUPENG and PENGASSAN are doing..? ..why should a former NLC president go against what he should no better...?

Na u no come read well so na.the Oba said each Iyeki is unique to each market.so there's nothing like Iyeki general.so there's no general Iyeki for all market,the Iyeki in Oba market does not have jurisdiction in another market.

ChiefOloye:
Are you sure you understand what read or you just allowed Sahara to use your head?
The Oba didn't say she is not Iyaloja, "Iyaloja" is a Yoruba word, the Benin variant is "iyeki" which implies that Mrs. Folashade could be referred to as Iyeki General, while she on the soil of Benin Kingdom. That's neither rejection nor confrontation, as Sahara wants you to believe, but a simple call for cultural respect and acceptance.

You know not about classics bro

Why would any sane person buy this in 2020?

Automotive industry has moved way beyond this ..... Don't be stuck in the past

flexyrule:
Chelsea is bad...

But you see Man UTD.... They don't deserve to be called a football team, they're a troupe of comedians.

It's a welcome development.but not until the poor man on the street starts felling the ease of things. It'll all remain stories

Adblg0610:
While it's understandable that concerns about governance may arise, it's important to focus on the facts.
The recent drop in headline inflation to 20.12% is a positive sign that the economy is gradually stabilizing. This improvement reflects efforts by the current President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration to implement reforms aimed at restoring macroeconomic balance.
While challenges remain, progress like this shows that there is a path forward—and the government will continue to build on these gains with transparency and accountability.

Isorite!!!

Softmirror:
Obi is the woman according to Nnamdi Kanu. 😁

Obi just dey make ur gbola dey raise any how,una no fit talk without calling the guy name.u sleep,Obi.u wake up,Obi.dem greet u good morning,u go answer Obi...na wa 4 u o.

Softmirror:
Men also know themselves more than women do. That can only mean that what Nnamdi Kanu did say about Peter Obi's sexuality also seems to be true too.

Or what do you think?!

Una no dey shame sef?

Na jealousy dey worry you.the man told people the reason behind his actions, someone may have done the same thing and attribute it to just conscience and a desire to be honest.but he gave his reason that it's because of his bearing Jehovah's name.kpakam

comradee1248:
Don't say Jehovah witness, just say a Nigerian! The fact that JW did that doesn't mean that other Nigerians or religions doesn't do same

We've seen other Nigerians from all angles, North, South, West and East return monies forgotten by others! All the religions in Nigeria have returned monies USD, Naira and other Valuables worth millions of Naira.

It's all about the Nigerian Culture and values not religion. If it was religion then other religions won't be returning monies forgotten or found

And all this claims specifically that (a particular sect) in a religion!!!
It's suspicious arrangement to get online fame.

He looks more like a rastaman in the cover. I'll like to hear that track where senior man Dr Dre is featured.
