and do you have the receipts for all these or are you basing your rant on information gleaned from sahara reporters?

[b]Obama also bought a house while he was senator, which was clearly above his income level at the time.[/b]My point? Sometimes things arent as black and white as people make them to be.

Becomrrich:
I want osisi to see this. so I repost it below.

Marrige is important and compulsory. We have to change in Nigeria. Marriage is not about party. The money we put up for this party. if we try to use it to start up the couple. thier lifes would get better.

Most woman should get marriage before 24. We in nigeria have to start creating a culture where after a woman get universities , she should get married.
White people dont wait till the man have cars and house. Look they finish university 70% of the woman get married. they dont wait thier time much. they get married at about 23 years. And in Nigeria women get married now about 30 years. That not good. It only makes the women left out feel marriage is not for them.

The church have to preach it. And stop of this too much demand for marriage party.











Osisi , you most be new in Christ. Or you go to this 419 churches where the pastors tell you give and give for the purpose of making himself rich. What they preach to you is heresy for the purposes of making themselves rich. Jesus says, not me musiwa. I mean Jesus said what shall it profit a man, if he gain the world and loss his soul. He said bird have net but the son of man have no place to lay his head.

Those ar not my words , they are the word of Jesus, But this your 419 preachers, who preach Heresy to you what do they fill your heart with. They fill your heart with greed, and you find their followers steal from government of Nigeria. Buying cars, generators and others for them. I hope you know you can manipulate a man but what you tell them. Osisi may you be free from lies.

Let look at that bible portion , you used.

Colossians 2:6 -9

6So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, 7rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
8See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
9For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. 11In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature,[a] not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, 12having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.


My answer : Is marriage a human tradition or an institution of God. ? the answer is marriage is an institution of God. The bible says that a man would leave is parent and cleave with his wife.
2. God looked at all the things he made, the word of God says they were good. If they were complete, why would he now create eve. We would not need eve. And Adam should leave alone. ? and forever.
What did God do, he created a woman to complete him. If he was complete God does not need to create eve.


Osisi change your church and pastors , he is teaching you heresy.

She has been with him for 6 years and the love did not grow. When will it grow? When she's quarter to heaven?

ibkaye:
Nawa o, nobody is saying they don't want to get married, just that marriage should never be seen as the ultimate in life.

debosky:
She is not incomplete, neither is a man without a woman.

This wrong thinking is what leads people into marriage hoping that their spouse will 'complete' them, leading to unrealistic expectations that can NEVER be fulfilled.

A man can never complete a woman and vice versa.

We can only come together to achieve a GREATER GOAL or purpose together that we could not do alone. That is all.

A ox is complete and can plough a field, albeit slowly. Two oxen yoked together will plough a greater field in the same time, but they are individually complete.

Adam's life was not 'useless' without Eve, he achieved his duty and named the animals, took care of the creation and went about his business. God decided it wasn't good for him to be alone. Being alone is not the same as being incomplete.

Dvampire:
how did u know he was unmarried? was it in the bible that Paul remained unmarried?

forbidden5:
Osisi,

How do you measure completeness? Is it an arbitrary phenomenon? If one is complete how do you know?

Answer these questions then you will know whether what I wrote initially is seperate from the topic in question?

What makes you a human?

Please note that Paul was not complete in a sense. He was more into a lot of Philosophy. Look at christ and his stand for marriage and then you will tell how true the statement is.



Jesus would have been married if he were born of flesh or a natural course.

forbidden5:
What is our problem in this country?

When can we have a stand of our own? Cant we for once look towards our brothers in Asia? Why would we always want to be westernized?

Please look again at our asian cultures and see whether people are getting as mad as we are here.

Please permit me to ask a question here. Guys, sincerely speaking, when you hear a woman is married, what perception do you have of her? What difference in level of respect do you give her?

The bible said in Gen 2:18-25 That it is not good for the man to be alone.

Women, from a practical point of view, general opinion, a single woman over due for marriage is in complete because she is seen as ill-mannered, un-marriageable, cursed by the gods, too proud to live with a man etc as some reasons she couldnt get married.

Bottom line is that they get little respect as compared to what the married once get.

The married one's have the protection of a man. I have caution in dealing with a married woman. Even a woman of 40, can be chiked by a boy of 16 as a sugar-mummy.

Poster, do you want to be a sugar mummy?

Sometimes, a woman is made complete by another woman.

@kobojunkie,
But osisi lied, she always does when it's Islam. Feel free to agree with her, but the more correct Islamic viewpoint is what Lagosboy posted. where in the Quran is it mentioned that you should behead a thief? And are there absolutely no Saudi Arabian thieves because most(or all) beheaded folks are foreigners[b]?[/b]

we muslims have spoken on this forum many times against things that are unislamic practised in Arab/muslim geographies but our points are not good enough especially if your mind is made up. Why would you take osisi's word over any muslim's? on an Islamic issue?
I guess we only see what our eyes want to see!


@sleek-p,

honesty has its  reward; and your post was "rite on" about osisi

Another Islamic educational institution in AlaIgbo is the Al-Haudaa Muslim School. 87 Established in 1990 by Igbo Moslems in Enugu, and approved by the former Anambra State Government, it has a student population of about 150 students, who range in age from 3 to 12 years. Like al Nazral, Al Hudaa awards scholarships to all its students, from kindergarten to elementary. An important difference between the two, however, is the religious affiliation of the faculty. About 90% of the teachers at the Islamic School in Enugu are Christian. And while they are normally allowed to practice their faith, these Christian teachers are daily confronted by an unusual but traditional tool of Moslem proselytism: They are paid a higher salary than public school teachers in an overt and non subtle attempt to entice them to the Islamic religion. 88 The school authorities were, understandably, unwilling to give the source of the school’s financial support; One of them could only acknowledge that it is funded by the “Moslem authorities.” The Chief Imam of Al Hudaa is Igbo; He was also on pilgrimage to Mecca during this research. His deputy is Yoruba. One of the Igbo Imams, Alhaji Okoro, 89 became a Moslem 20 years ago.



Two of the most prominent Igbo Moslems are Alhaji Abdulaziz Ude and Alhaji Yahaya Ndu. Ndu, the Presidential candidate of the African Renaissance Party (ARP), is from Ezeagu LGA in Enugu State. Another, Alhaji Isah Okonkwo, 90 is not well- known. An indigene of Akpugo in Nkanu LGA, Enugu State, he was lured into Islam as a member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). He rose quickly, becoming the president of the Moslem Corpers Association in Kaduna State and the Moslem Corpers Association of Nigeria. Okonkwo was made the Chief Imam, University of Ibadan in the 1980’s. And there is Muhammed Okorie from Awgwu in Enugu State, who also became President of the Moslem Corpers Association of Nigeria. Sheik Adamu Abdullahi Idoko, from Nsukka, is the Chief Imam of the mosque at UNN. He was also on pilgrimage to Mecca during this research. Nsukka is the key base of Islamic expansionism in Igboland. 91[b] Alhaji Dauda Onyeagocha is the Chief Imam of the controversial Owerri main mosque, which is situated near the Government House. [/b] The resident Imam is Aminu Igwegbe; both are from Imo State. It is said that Senator Arthur Nzeribe is one benefactors of state’s Islamic community. He is alleged to have donated about N5 million toward the construction of the controversial mosque. 92



Another Igbo Muslim, Alhaji Obi Ike, 93 embraced the Islamic religion in order to “play them 419.” A former practicing Catholic, he became a Moslem and went on pilgrimage to Mecca in 1977, because he wanted to use his new religion to break into the Nigerian power structure, which is historically dominated by Moslems. Married to a woman from the Caliphate, he gained prominence in the Shagari administration, especially during the Sharia debate in the 1980’s. His marriage opened doors for him: He was awarded several contracts, which furnished him with resources to build and own hotels across the country. 94

Christianity easily won over the Igbos because it is peaceful and respects human life, even the life of an enemy.

Those that think that Igbos have not been exposed to Islam are wrong. Igbos have long been exposed to it, even today Igbos all over the world are exposed to Islam. Sometimes muslims will even try to win converts by promising them riches. I know how many times they have tried to convert me, my friends, and etc. I know Igbos in the muslim countries, still they will never consider joining. A friend of mine happily lost a contract that would have been his, if only he accepted Islam. The few Igbos that pretend to be muslims only do it to get positions and contracts. Once they return to Igboland they throw away thier Islam and ask God for forgiveness.

all these arranged marriages with the enticement of coming to the USA.
They want Americana in-law
Why are some parents still so primitive in this day and age?
dashing an innocent 17 year old to a man she doesn't know anything about.
I bet the man is almost 20 years her senior if not more.
Poor girl will be gnashing her teeth when the light goes off
