Do you have any questions about Christianity?

Leilah:

Well i was born muslim. I was married to a beast of a muslim man before and we were both practicing at the time. However, that was NOT Islams fault. technically a muslim woman is NOT allowed to marry a non muslim regardless of whether she practices or not. I did all of what Islamically I shoudlnt have done, I married an igbo non practising christian born man that why I have been disowned by the islamic community. Its usually only apostates like myself who do these things and have 'this life'-Dunya only and none in the hereafter as I am heading to hell, unless I try to repent that is. There has been times when I prayed and my daughter is not christened. My husband knows that and accepts that. technically its wrong but sometimes love just takes over. Note* what I did is RARE.

Come to Jesus
He is the saviour and will receive you and give you an assurance of salvation

john 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:

He says he's an atheist
There's another picture of him playing tambourine in a church
I wish I could find it

In the first picture,he seems to be puckering up for a kiss

tpia:

don't know how your post is related to my own, since all these things you mention are elements of AFRICAN TRADITIONAL RELIGION which as we all know is one major thing common to African countries all over Africa.

No one is denying some kidnappings took place. The Oba has personally intervened, which is more than can be said for many other parts of Nigeria when similar things happen.

Ibime is using the opportunity to bash Nigeria as you're all fond of doing, so I'm pointing out crime isnt a uniquely Nigerian phenomenon. Maybe 419 and kidnapping young children is though, but Yorubas arent known for kidnappings of this nature.Unless during intense political strife. And even then, they don't target other tribes living among them in this manner- they can badmouth , but it rarely gets physical.

In the absence of political turmoil, what's the motive for these kidnappings? Profit- and for now this makes the whole thing look very suspicious.


MEND has been trying to get active in Ondo state for a while now. So I'm not surprised.

Let's clap for the Oba for his intervention
kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!
You keep talking about Yorubas not known for kidnapping
and their style of kidnapping when they do
Please tell us the people that are known for kidnappings?

are we talking about Yorubas or a criminal act by criminals?
get your head off the tribalistic gourd ma friend

yemmyse:

Igbos are wonderful people, infact I pray I get to marry an Igbo lady. But if there is one bad thing the Igbos are guilty of, it is bigotry, ethnocentricism and me-against the world attitude. Pardon me if it sounds like am castigating or pointing fingers, but I sincerely think these my great neighbours need to desist from these acts if they are going to ever live up to their great potentials.

People need to be able to trust you and relate with you before they can trust leadership into your hands.

And what has owo kidnappers got to do with being good neighbours and good leaders. ?
You folks are the first ones to point fingers at other tribes yet you're as tribalistic as can be
Any Igbo man that has lived amongst Yorubas will tell you that an Igbo man would be better treated by a Hausa man than an average Yoruba man who would describe him as a man that eats a stone without drinking water.
It's only a tribalistic folk that'll call anyone other than himself "omo ibo" with such disdain without bothering to learn  that there are 249 other ethnicities other than Igbos.
abeg let's hear something else.
Is it all of you that are that ignorant, certainly not

so what gives you the right to label all Igbos with a homogenous label?
[b]You have your bad eggs,we have ours
and for every ill you accuse the Igbo man of, there's a Yoruba man doing the exact same thing[/b]Don't come here recycling the same things passed down from your folk tales.
It's getting rather old and stale.

The way 99% of you folks have said everything but admit that Yorubas can be kidnappers is quite laughable?
I hope that works.
deny it or excuse the kidnappers,worse still blame it on the kidnapped.

since she wants a Nigerian man she even needs to work harder at spoiling her man than the average girl since age is not on her side.
A girl that incoherent in speech plus the age factor should be a bag of patience to nab and keep a man.
Thankfully her background already prepared her for "back on the ground"

No one is bothered Queenisha, besides you, a lot of people knows who you are and what you do.
You didnt made any point once I have never said Brazil is a hell also y pick old articles that doenst reflect the reality and even , in the case it were true, it doenst fits with the issue here.
Both countries can have the same problems but the reactions will be different because we have differents cultures and it is not news, the bottom line was talk about the reaction and not what happen or what don't happen
I have never said doenst exist violence, prostituon or whatever .
So I called you bastard because even after explain it to you 1000 of times you didnt understand and y keep not understanding, and y feel the necessity of proof yourseld posting articles in a crazy way, so

if y re not bastard maybe the best name to call you is senseless, or you people can help me ?

because I don't know

I talk, talk , talk, make draft, give examples and the person keeps answering no sense or something that doenst have nothing to do with the bottom line or with the issue, what the best name for I call this person ?

bastard NO, senseless NO

so what ?

Is not a case of agree or disagree

is a case of answer otherwise

let me read this again
I still don't get this your ebonics

oh why bother Queenisha

looks like simi's ideal mate has arrived.

At least anyone who stumbles on this thread and sees her false comparisons of the Nigerian and Brazillian woman will also have the priviledge of seeing that all the hard stuff wey dey her soup, no be meat

The only reason I posted the various links was to tell that used up ashewo that Nigeria has the same ills as every other place.
THE ONLY REASON YOU POST VARIOS LINKS IS BECAUSE Y RE BASTARD WITHOUT SENSE, BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER SAID THAT BRAZIL IS THE HELL , AND BULLSHIT HAPPEN EVERYWHERE, THE DIFFERENCE IS OUR REACTION TO IT

JEJEJEJE, I AM NOT LIKE YOU, I AM CLEAN, YOU ? I DONT KNOW, don't make generalizations base on your behave, is not because y made part of group risk that every woman makes the same, some woman are decent, some women, when they get married they are faithfull, and they don't act as sugarmammy for sexual pleasure.

michelin89:

So must we ignore what happens in our land just because a foreigner pointed out to us? If her assumptions were wrong them there'D be room for this type of confrontation but all she has said isn't far from the truth, so we had better sit and reflect.

I am sure with all those links you posted Simi has become more sensitive to the problems in her country, so let's do the same. This battle of finding which country is worse is very childish and leads to no progress of any party. We'll still be where we are.

We shouldn't be offended by the truth, no matter who says it because the source becomes irrelevant as the problem is always what is irrespective of who pointed it out.

NO
but when the comparisons become biased, that individual has become deceptive and must be rebuked and flogged with koboko laced with alligator pepper.
Read my initial posts there was no offence whatsoever,I was born and raised in Nigeria nad I acknowledge the ills therein.

The only reason I posted the various links was to tell that used up ashewo that Nigeria has the same ills as every other place.
I started by explaining things in a mature fashion until she went off course and attempted to deceive her readers about the plight of women in Brazil
Brazil has the highest rate of Child prostitution,women sex traficking.
Most of the tourism to Brazil is for cheap sex.
It's not unusual for a married Brazillian woman to service her clients in the day and her husband at night.
Their bottoms are their meal tickets
their women are only useful with their legs up in the air
their "brains" are located in between their legs
any wonder simi here sounds like a broken record with her gibberish
give her $5, she'll feel at home

Brazillian women are so liberated that their no 1 female profession prostitution  have their own  union radio station

According to Reuters, the Brazillian government has granted permission to The Association of Prostitutes of Bahia to begin broadcasting on an FM station, Radio Zona, later this year. The station will "feature programs about the trade but will also discuss issues such as human rights, social questions, and sexual abuse."

The politics sound spot on, project coordinator Sandro Correia, explained "We are not going to apologize for prostitution but we are going to struggle for the dignity of the profession."

This isn't the first time Brazil has shown some progressive leadership around prostitute rights. Last year Brazil turned down 40 million dollars in US funding for HIV/AIDS prevention, because of clause that required all content to condemn prostitution.

http://sexuality.about.com/b/2006/03/10/sex-worker-radio.htm

Women in Brazil are the hidden victims of a crumbling detention system that exposes them to rape and other ill treatment, Amnesty International said today.

The statement came as reports emerged of the case of a young woman in the state of Pará in northern Brazil who was left in a police cell with 20 men for a month and repeatedly sexually abused.

The woman, who reports suggest may have been as young as 15, was held on suspicion of theft but never charged. She was repeatedly raped and forced to have sex to obtain food

YES, YOU ARE RIGHT, THE DIFFERENCE IS HOW WE, BRAZILIANS REACT, ALMOST OF US ARE INDEPENDENT AND HERE WE HAVE LAW ON OUR BEHALF:

IF A MAN CHEAT, THE WOMAN WILL DIVORCE, FORGIVE OR CHEAT TOO
IF A WOMAN IS HITED BY A MAN, DOMESTICALLY VIOLENCE, THE MAN GO TO THE PRISION (IN NAIJA, I GUESS THE COURT IS MADE BY THE FAMILY AND OF COURSE NOTHING WILL HAPPEN WITH THE MAN)
BRAZILIAN WOMEN DOENST SUPORT MAN, IS THE MAN THAT SUPORT US, WHEN WE WORK, OUR MONEY IS OUR MONEY AND HIS MONEY IS OUR MONEY

SO, the bottom line here is that nigerian woman spoil man and it doenst have nothing to do about what happen in Brazil.
Have I made myself clear ?

This double standard also favored frequent consensual unions, illegitimacy, and prostitution. Such behavior was not entirely acceptable but was tolerated more readily in Brazil, generally speaking, than in North America and the rest of Latin America.
Although women were allowed open access to schools and employment around the turn of the century and suffrage on a national level in 1933, they were not on an equal footing with men in family affairs. Men were automatically heads of households, and married women were legally subordinate to their husbands. Because of the inconvenience caused by informal remarriage, divorce was made legal in 1977. Under the constitution of 1988, women became entirely equal to men for all legal purposes.http://womenshistory.about.com/library/ency/blwh_brazil.htm

SO, the bottom line here is that nigerian woman spoil man and it doenst have nothing to do about what happen in Brazil.
Have I made myself clear ?

A survey in Brazil coordinated by professor Heleieth Saffiotti has found that 70% of cases of violence against women get shelved in São Paulo police stations.

The survey shows that the main reason the cases do not move ahead is because the women themselves halt the inquiries in the hope that the perpetrators (husbands or legal companions) will change their behavior.
The survey was based on police reports in Woman Defense police stations around the country (22 state capitals and various cities in the state of São Paulo).

A[b] attempt was made toobtain a profile of the women who were victims. The majority of them were between the ages of 30 and 40 and had been living with the person who attacked them for 10 years.[/b]

A law professor at the Catholic University of São Paulo, Silvia Pimentel, says that in legal terms Brazil has made advances with the constitution of 1988, in gender equality, and the reform of the country's Civil Code in 2002, which eliminated legislation that automatically registered the man as head of a household.

But Pimentel says further legislation on domestic violence is needed. http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/906/41/

@queenisha

well said!

thanks dear

@ simibrasil

If you took the time to read your article,you'll notice it specifically talked of Muslim women.
Your further examples about stoning women for adultery are also Islamic practices.
It is not a NIgerian thing.
There is a big divide in Nigeria regarding Muslim and Christian issues
Muslims are bound by their shariah law
Christians are bound by secular law
A Christian intervening in the Muslim laws  rather than international community as you advocated could trigger off Muslims killing Christians in large numbers.It has happened and still happens.

This is not to say the Christian men and church goers don't abuse their wives,they do.
Spousal abuse is not unique to any race or creed.
Brazilians are not different from Nigerians when it comes to dealing with irresponsible husbands.
There are tons of Brazillian men who father children all over the neighborhood while still married.
There are lazy ones who sit at home watching soccer matches while the wife works 2 and 3 jobs.
There are Nigerian men in that category too

The number one reason the wives swallow such and stay on in any culture is poverty.
That's why the divorce rates are higher amongst Nigerians in the West than Nigerians in Nigeria
Because they are more financially independent.
You mentioned earlier about the men being gone on business trips and working long hours.
while the wife sits and waits for him
Honey,ain't no one complaining about that one.
I want him gone searching for money
na im presence I go chop?
that one no be problem at all.

I geddit
she means lawyer

We should note that the original post was not simibrazils write up.
She posted an article she had seen somewhere else.
What perhaps ticked people off is that we don't need a brazillian posting and highlighting an article on a "Nigerian" forum when it's obvious same thing obtains in her neck of the woods.
I  worked in an area here in the USA with the highest Brazilian immigrants and that same area had the highest incidence of HIV patients.
I doubt if I'll be received well if I went into a Brazilian forum and dumped the HIV statistics on them when there are HIV people in my own neighborhood.
Is the article right?
absolutely
Is is unique to Nigerians
Absolutely not!

JustGood:

Sisi, I never stated that Naija men are not what the topic alludes to. My point was that the trait was not unique to naija and it is not as common as some of you would have people believe.

Either that you have not even followed the thread but have been consistent in following my post (without regard to whatever I may be responding to) or you have just decided to do what a few others have conveniently done here - jump on the back of anyone who is against your opinion and those who support it. Otherwise, you would have been careful to see that I was insulted and I responded in kind. Now don't tell me not to respond in kind!

You must assume the sun revolves around you and whatever you believe as well. That is the only explanation I can give for your challenge here

Just good the first sentence is 100% correct.
Anyone coming to this thread would think these ills are unique to Nigerians.
It's not.
Men from all nationalities abuse their wives daily.

Abuse is very common including in Nigeria.
What makes the Nigerian case more difficult like in every 3rd world country is poverty.
Most of the women don't have the means to survive on their own even if they wanted to leave

They should leave this old man alone jo.
Are the woman not adults?
