Una just dey use God dey lie.

immaculatesense:
Though it is a cultural thing but based on Paul's advice, we must understand the cultural sensitivity of our environment.
But he brought another dimension into it when he said "God told him..." It became difficult to opininate freely on it like I would have loved to freely do.

Thanks.

Isnt that the whole point, so that people can just accept it and not opionate on it.
Or why do you really think he said this

Nonybb:
One day he will tell us that God told him to rape one of his members

Ha!!!

rinzaugustine:
Only in Nigeria do you hear this kind of nonsense

Yeah because no one pressure people about hair in sensible places.

In Nigeria we judge people by their hair. A man with braided hair is seen as unserious and a bad person. If he is a celebrity, same Nigerians will become mum.

Judgement day will be very hot 🔥....

Many so called 'men of God' who called themselves into ministry or claimed God spoke to them will face God's anger first class!

While I can't judge jimmy odukoya, I sincerely hope he heard from God as his late mother left behind such a wonderful legacy in ministry.

koladata:
Wow us with better revelation not hair, world economy is crashing

There's war in Ukraine, the middle east is destabilized, high rate of insurgency in Nigeria and God is discussing hair with you

you won't kill me with laugh...

Some of these people suffer from the mental illness schizophrenia, hearing voices in their head.

Islam and xtianity, the two most dubious and harmful religion filled with low IQ people.

This one is a motivational speaker, not a pastor per se.

(My opinion)

In reality, it's the heart that matters...
But that hair na burden for you...
You can't be spending more time on your hair than preparing for your sermon

Feel free to "opininate". You have my permission

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The devil might be mighty but God is the Almighty. I wish to be alive and see when all these rubbish will stop in Nigeria.

mrdharkchild:
My X who we were supposed to plan marriage, woke up one day and rejected my proposal to accept someone else's proposal, I was so sad, and all she told me was, it's a God thing.

She played the God card on me.

You should be happy.
Why did you want to marry?
On this forum and other social media platforms,men are constantly reminded not to get married but have baby mamas as marriage does not benefit them.

God save you from investing your money in a venture that you have nothing to gain from.

Rejoice!

EmperorIsaac:
He should just flee from Delilah sha

😁😁😁
As in, run from every woman.
But, that one is just decision… GOD didn't say that.

If God can come and drink tea with our daddy G O,then u are absolutely correct to say it.

Time shall tell

rinzaugustine:

Not only in Nigeria. The entire African people are delusional about religion.

God never tells them something meaningful.

Tomorrow, he will cut his hair and say God changed his mind.

Samson of our time, help us talk to God about humanity are go crazy everyday.

The Samson of our time. Sha no go near Delilah oo

Lol

But why are you telling us? You be Samson?

Does he still wear earrings?

Because if he does then there's something absolutely wrong.....

Nevertheless anything that contradicts the Word of God is definitely not from God and it's blasphemous to even say it was God who told you....

Lol.

If you're a Yoruba you will understand dread.

If there is no clear cut difference between the people of God and the people of the world then there's absolutely a serious problem....

It's always crystal clear in the Bible.
God always warns his people to be different from the people of other nations.

God has been talking to a lot of people in this country except me. What did I do wrong.

CorperKola:

That is why everyone will face God. When he does, God whom he has said gave him the go ahead will decide whether or not he told him that.
I do not even have issues with his hair. Like I said "it's a cultural thing" but him saying God told him "then he has made himself answerable directly to God." And for me to be fair to him, I will leave him to that God.

Thanks.

Smile. Just for the sake of scriptures and it's teaching. In 1 Corinthians 11:1-16; The doctrine of a woman cutting her hair and a man having long hair was a Roman cultural thing.
As you cannot criticize a woman cutting her hair in present cultural settings, you cannot accuse a man of having long hair because both were captured on the same rule which is cultural just like "holy kiss" still being practiced in Russian churches but against our culture here in Africa but it is culturally biblical.

Thanks.

Our difference is in our lifestyle; the way we live and conduct ourselves. When it comes to dressing, it should be that a believer should cover his/her unclothedness. Anything beyond this is cultural which may be morally right.
Let me tell you sir, a well covered woman by Yoruba cultural standard is a half naked woman in Arab's cultural standard.

Thanks.
