Its left for you to have a sensible mind about this man Ojukwu and what really triggered the Nigeria Civil War, that have wasted many igbos lives by putting them on a line. I am Yoruba and today, I decided to re-read about this Biafra war and why the Nigeria government did not want igbos to leave, because I am tired of Igbo cries and I want Nigeria to break up as well. I went on Wikipedia and to what I can gather about the causes of the war, was that Ojukwu doesnot like the Northerners in Power and he wants the igbos to be charge, due to the natural resource "Oil" is in the Eastern Region. The igbos were collecting Royalties from the Oil production even before the war. Most countries that supported Nigeria Govt. during war, was because of their Nations' interest. Uk was supporting Nigeria Govt cos of their Shell Company, USA was partially supporting Nigeria Govt cos of their Investments in Nigeria, Isreal was supporting Biafra cos of their nations Interest as well. Take a good look at these nations supporting each party, Do you think they give a fkkk about Africans, if they have nothing to gain from us?.( tell me about other Africa civil war and what Europe country give a fkkk, if they have nothing to offer to the Europeans?) Biafra claim they lost due to Starvation, will you feed your opponent when you are fighting, but Biafra refuse to acknowledge the fact that they went to war with less ammunition. Biafra have continue to blame Awolowo for their failure and forget the power of propaganda. We should be more focus on Ojukwu, who rushed the Biafra youths to war without better plan, We should also remember Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, who is power hungry as Ojukwu and he also betrayed his fellow Biafrians, We should talk about how Ojukwu released Banjo to fight his own people. To me, I believe Ojukwu should have been held accountable when he was alive for leading Biafria to war when they are not fully ready, I believe the causes of the war should be more focused on and if Biafra want to create their nation, they should do it in a diplomatic way. I am not been biased in anyway, just according to what I could gather online about the causes of the civil war.

You did not read that Nigeria declared war on young unarmed Biafra? Biafra was for dialogue and Aburi Accord would have been the panacea for a peaceful break-up but for Awolowo's treachery. The war was unfortunate. Ojukwu is a Hero forever! You cannot buy heroism with money or propaganda. He is and will always be the man after the heart of the Igbos. And for your information, Biafra will be whether now or in the future. There will surely be Biafra!

One Nigeria is a mirage in the face of injustice, marginalization, quota system, born to rule mentality, inequality, gang up against a section of the country etc. One Nigeria an impossibility in the face of all these.

BIAFRA LIVES!!

Go and express your free will in your state, is that simple enough for you to understand.

Your attachment by force is no longer acceptable. And for your information I dont believe in the Bible, all the stories inside na wash.

What is the meaning or usefulness of hardworking if you cant do it in your own land and prosper your land?

Abeg move.

I will answer you by repeating:

EVERY EVIL DESIGN AGAINST A PEACE-LOVING PEOPLE SHALL SURELY FAIL! I only pity you and your likes. You will surely meet your waterloo. When you do not allow people to exercise their freewill. You will lose your freedom yourself. The man should resign because he should have killed all your 'enemies'. Go and read the bible book of Esther. You may not even live to see that era when every peace-loving, hardworking, law-abiding citizens no matter their ethnicity, religion, complexion, will be truly free in Nigeria.

Whether you read the Bible or nor, the event there will happen to you if you continue in this mindset. The wickedness in your heart is so huge. May God have mercy on you.

ibedun:
We need to go back to the drawing board. The PVC did not work in River state for a reason. The PVC should necessarily break down in those areas occupied by our enemies within. We need to be ready by any means necessary in 2019. This abomination should be checked immediately.

You are not different from corrupts actors. If you can support and defend this open criminals, then means you are like mind

The truth is that Nigerian leaders, be it at the local, state or federal government level are corrupt. Let nobody deceive us by saying that he has the magic wand to wipe out corruption. Let's also face it, no one of these guys telling us about corruption has the courage, moral strength and sincerity to make a difference.
The present government is very corrupt. Let's face it. I wish the Nigerian military is as patriotic as the military we see elsewhere in sane societies. I would have advocated for a military take over of government and patriotically reorder the polity. But its a pity we do not have. As for the opposition as presently constituted, it is better for the present government to continue. It is very painful for me. Are you going to replace Aneneh (sorry for spelling his name badly - i mean the PDP BOD chairman) with Tinubu? Are you going to replace Alamesiah with Atiku? Are you going to replace Orji Kalu/Theordor Orji with Amechi? Are you going to ask Obasanjo to swap places with Bode George? These guys are like a half-naked FELA singing about injustice, corruption and bad government in Nigeria with wrapped indian hemp in his mouth, surrounded by naked women in a shrine. You guys are making sane people in this country get mad! I wish INEC has power to stop Jonathan, Buhari, APC and PDP from contesting and also preventing any member of these parties and their associates from joining any other party. May be the country will be better by that.

onatisi:

“The challenge Nigeria is
facing – on the day of
voting, when you drop your
votes in the ballot box, you
will know who is PDP and
who is APC. It’s a parable;
very delicate. Because
everybody plays a game;
we deceive ourselves. ‘So
this man voted for this
party but he’s in that
party.’ ”

I love this . I have said it many times that this presidential elections results will shock the whole world . A man seen as stupid and clueless is just about to prove bookmakers wrong .

This is very interesting observation indeed. But let me ask, is this what some people are calling PROPHECY?? Many of us are just NOT SERIOUS MINDED!

wakacome:
I repeat only GOD can say who he is truly behind or not...even some occult worshipers have consistent devil's ministry......so forget consistency,better focus on your own life as a christian and stop putting 100% trust on pastors....You will be totally surprised on that day called judgment day...

My brother, it is not only God that knows who a true worshiper of God. It is not only God that knows who a true servant of God. WE CAN KNOW! It is like saying only God knows who a good teacher, cleaner, driver etc. is. We are just being mentally and spiritually lazy when we make such statements. It also reveals how gullible we are as a people. There are ways of knowing who a good driver is. There are ways to know if someone who is employed to clean a place is doing it well. We can decipher if the Maths teacher is good or not. Why is it that it is only when it comes to preachers that we cannot know again. Jesus said that by their fruits we shall know them. This test is the perfect test. As for consistency, this is not the way to know if someone is true or false. NO ONE CAN BE MORE CONSISTENT THAN SATAN HIMSELF! Jesus told us that it is BY THEIR FRUITS you can know. What a person does. His activities. His way of life in secret and open. If someone is controversial, you better start shifting away from that person because it shows his lifestyle is not open. The life of a man of God supposed to be an open book that others can easily read. That is the only way they can influence others to God. Jesus said "LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN SO THAT THEY CAN SEE IT AND GLORIFY GOD WHO IS IN HEAVEN. If there are a lot of secrecy surrounding one's life, it shows that person is of darkness. If a man bribes journalists to cover up an action of his, that person has a questionable lifestyle. If a person cannot apologize if he has done something wrong, he is not of God. By the way, the life of a Christian/Man of God must have a definite day it started. If we cannot tell the day you repented of your sin and give your life to Jesus, YOU ARE A BIG, BIG FAKE. No man born of a man and woman can be born again in his or her mother's womb. Please help yourself by opening your eyes to be able to see if a man has the fruit of righteousness or not. STOP SINGING THE PRAISES OF AN ORDINARY MAN who is using you to become rich and famous. Please do not allow anyone frighten you by saying you should NOT speak up against a glaring wrong doing by any preacher. The only caveat there is when you know that someone by all standard is a true man of man (and like I said earlier, you can know them by the fruit their bear) and you are deliberately maligning him or her. Even at that, if you truly repent of that, God will forgive you. God will always defend His servant. The only sin that cannot be forgiven is the sin against the Holy Ghost. It is difficult for any man to commit that sin! Please free yourself and do not be deceived. The other day we hear a so called man of God put about 20 women including married women in family ways. Why can't we speak up against it. If a so called man of God is charging money before he can pray for people, why can't we say it is not right. YES WE CAN!

Ura:
The man is just as intelligent as any average man. Definitely, we are expecting that our votes will have an outcome, come March 28, either in favour of PDP or APC. And remember that the results does not include who voted for which party. So, he has not said any thing prophetic. Watch out! As soon as results are out, he will start taking credit for things he never said in the first place "parables". And by the grace of God, Nigeria will have a peaceful and successful election, devoid of any "clouds".

I say a big, big AMEN to that prayer! A M E N.

Unfortunately, these are the kind of people millions of youths make their role models and pray to be like in the nearest future.

Nigerian youths, here is a word of advice to you all; ENTERTAINMENT HAS A LIFE SPAN OF ONLY 10 YEARS OF STARDOM AND WEALTH Only extremely few people like Michael Jackson, Witney Houston, Bob Marley, Fela, Tuface Idibia, Drogba, Becham ever get to cross that 10years mark and those are who are called ICONS


Entertainers are like gamblers, THEY USUALLY GO BROKER THAN THEY WERE BEFORE COMING TO LIMELIGHT.


A hardworking and focused businessman can easy regain is wealth back if it is taken from him. I.e; is the case of Bill Gates and Warren Buffet who even after giving out more than 80% of their whole wealth 4 years ago are now world's number 1 and 3 richest men in the world. Take Adenuga, Aliko and Jim Ovia's wealth and watch how they will bounce back within the shortest possible time.

My people, HARDWORK PAYS. easy way to wealth will eventually lead to abject poverty.


You all should start getting focused, humble, knowledgable and above all prayerful.



Forget all these entertainers, they live extremely FAKE LIVES.


1LOVE

I just hope someone is listening. Thank you very much bros for this selfless advice.

Now those clamoring for change, who are also members of the National Assembly, will not want anything to change about this one. They are all the same thing. The difference is in what they say!

tbaba1234:
This whole discussion of Buhari’s qualification is a negative distraction from the legitimate process of electioneering which should involve issues, records of the candidates, their character, and their capacity to govern. These are things we should be talking about. The constitution is very clear on the issue of qualification. It states that you are qualified to be a President if you have achieved the level of school certificate or its equivalent. Buhari has been to Military College in Britain, he has been to colleges in India and USA, involving high level of training and intellect. We need to ask if participation and completion of courses at these levels and the basic officers training in Mons Officers Cadet School are less than school certificates. On the contrary, you need school certificate to attend those courses. So, if he has attended all those courses, then there is absolutely no need to be talking about secondary school certificates anymore. ~

Professor Itsey Sagay, a constitutional lawyer.

equivalent
[/b]

/ɪˈkwɪv(ə)l(ə)nt/

adjective

adjective: equivalent

1. equal in value, amount, function, meaning, etc.
[b]"one unit is equivalent to one glass of wine"


synonyms: equal, identical;

O boy, na grammar be this o. Equivalent no mean the thing wey pass another thing. Na the thing wey be like or equal to the matter wey dem they talk about. You go first count one (1) before you go count ten (10). If person count ten when him never count one, na wuruwuru to the answer be dat o.

Just give us the certificate of equivalent and MATTER GO CLOSE.

"IF GOD SHOULD MARK INIQUITY, WHO WILL STAND? (Ps 130 vs 3) If God want GMB to be our next president, it doesnt matter how tough his critics are, they are just waisting their time. It doesnt matter what he might have done in the past. Saul persecuted Christian, participated in killings...but for God to kill him, No! He had mercy on him, CHANGED HIM and used him mightily more than other Apostel...

But Saul genuinely repented and confessed his sins! Let him first repent and confess all his sins:

1. Sponsoring of electoral violence that killed youth corpers
2. Faking Certificate
3. Overthrowing a democracy - opening the door for bad governments of IBB, ABACHA, ABDUSALAM!
4. Killing Nigerians on a retroactive law. Person commit office today you come make law next week use am kill the person.
5. Supporting Sharia that killed thousands of Christians
6. Serving under Abacha regime
7. Discriminating against the south of Nigeria

fasbat:
in military junta, anything goes including banning of interest groups, so d shortcomings of Buhari's govt in. 1983 has been forgiven, if IBB and others dt installed GMB were a bit careful ,Nig would ve been a better and organised country by now. GMB would have guarantee a better future than d wasteful IBB dt came after him...

Bros how do you know his regime would have been better than IBB? You are just behaving like Buhari's class teacher who assured the Nigerian Army Authorities to enlist him that he would pass in about five subjects. Was that teacher not disgraced? See different version of certificates flying all over the country today. He disappointed the teacher silly! Please, please do not go there! You are not a prophet. He disgraced is 'prophet' teacher and he would have disappointed you if he had been allowed a minute more time than he had.

We cannot do what the Army Authorities did in 1961. He must produce his certificate before we allow him to rule! No more, no less.

adexway:

While Buhari may be dictatorial going by his antecedents, I think I will be one of those to praise him if he decides to be the Rawlings of Nigeria. I don't think poor Nigerians will be the victim of Buhari's sledgehammer. The likes of Jonathan, Obasanjo, IBB, and many more deserve massive national purging.

thinking that Buhari will ever prosecute anybody at all especially the Northerners, is day-dreaming. These guys are actually the ones routing for his presidency. It is corrupt Nigerians like Tinubu that are campaigning for him. Check out his antecedents:

1. Put Shagari who he overthrown as a corrupt politician under house arrest
2. Put Lateef Jakande, an honest governor of lagos, who he cancelled his laudable metroline project, in jail
3. Allowed his inlaw to smuggle 53 suitcases of local and foreign currency but jailed Fela Kuti for being in possession of a few genuine
currencies
4. Made a retroactive law that killed southern youths but allowed Idiagbon (Kwara, North) to take an under aged boy to Mecca
5. Built good roads, schools and hospital with PTF funds while neglecting roads, schools and hospitals in the south
6. Supported the promotion of Sharia but fought to destroy Biafra
7. Wants a northerner like himself to be president but do not want a southerner like unlce Jona to be Nigerian President

bolajJP007:
The writer of this piece must be a foolish GEJ supporter.
Incase he doesn't know, let me educate him that Major General Muhammadu Buhari was overthrown by a military coup. Also, be of his foolishness, he has forgotten that military coup is not the same as democratic change in government. His belongings were either missing or burnt.
Meanwhile, as a former Head of State, does the writer expect him to start swearing affidavits? Has he ever seen or heard of a past Head of State looking for employment?
This people(Heads of State, Presidents) has gotten to the highest level any human being can hope and aspire for. You don't expect them to be going about or worrying themselves over certificates.
Remember also, that the records of all military officers are CLASSIFIED. if you know the meaning of something being CLASSIFIED, you will know better than to write all the rubbish you just wrote.
Also, if you don't know, Major General Muhammadu Buhari was once the Secretary of the Military Board. If he has any reason to cheat, he would have included the said results in his file, but because he has no reason to cheat, and being an honest man, he NEVER checked his own file.
Now, pdp and GEJ has just achieve there aim of rubbishing the Nigerian Army. This is because, with all the integrity in the Nigerian Army, how can fey say they don't have there academic records of someone who rose to the height of being the Head of State.
I'll stop here, so you can sit and think of all the rubbish you have been writing.
Please, stop missinforming Nigerians the same way your elders misinformed you about the civil war.

ARE YOU WRITING THIS TRASH FOR ALMAJARIS OR WHAT?

If someone was a former Nigerian leader, he becomes greater than the laws of the nation? Is that the kind of CHANGE you want us to have?

Please take this your argument to the marines!

tpacalipse:
But he soon wins and you may go to HELL then.

The issue for me is not who wins the election. It is a matter of integrity. I want us to pause and consider the following:

1. Is this certificate that rolled out as soon as he finished his press conference trustworthy?
2. Can we sincerely say we are satisfied with this General's conduct?
3. Is he the real change Nigeria needs?
4. Is he as transparent as we are being made to believe?
5. If he is not qualified to run, should he run by all means?
6. Can he be trusted with good judgment if he occupies that high office?
7. Will merit and hard-work thrive?
8. Will the education sector fare well?
9. Can he cope with the demands of the office at 73?
10. Can we get the best from him at that age?

So where is the second division pass? Is it this C5, C6, P7 that was started in the 90s?
Buhari abeg say the truth! You were not in any compelled to have this WASC in the first place.
All you needed was to be able to read and write and you are qualified to run.
Why on earth did you say you have the WASC you are now sweating to produce?
Why did you not ask your school to provide you with this statement of result when you
were filling the presidential nomination form? Why did you not ask the Nigerian Army
to give you a copy if you knew they had it.
COOOMMMMOOOON BUHARI!!!!!!!!

chigo93:
broda God bless u,but GEJ disappointed.I respect u!

The right word and truth is: GEJ did not live up to expectations! It is not easy to perform well with the type of distractions and sabotage he is up against. I think he has good intentions. Let us not look for change for change sake. Let us support him to conclude. That way he will have no excuse like Obasanjo and IBB will never have excuse for not making Nigeria great. Buhari is out of it totally. DO NOT GO THERE!

chigo93:
my broda,moses wasn't educated as the Egyptian elites,but God used him,God even gave him a good orator in the person of Aaron.Broda Gej has brought pains to our hearts.Buhari may not be as educated as you expected,but when I see guys like kayode fayemi,fashola,Amaechi,ztc around him I feel there is hope.Thank God you've not lost a loved one 2 boko haram.this buhari case of incompetence is similar 2 Donald trump saying obama wasn't qualified 2 run 4 presidency since he wasn't an American! GEJ campaign shld be based on what he has achieved as an Educated president.

Chigo, please let us always ensure that whatever we put out to the public is well researched and in deed the truth. Moses was educated. the Bible Book of Acts Chapter 7 verses 22 says: "Moses was educated in all the learning of the Egyptians, and he was a man of power in words and deeds". Anybody seeking to lead an intelligent people must not be a dullard please!
Buhari and the APC is obviously playing with the intelligence of over 150 million Nigerians! He/They had the opportunity to present the qualification he has or its equivalent but he chose to tell us what he does not have. Anyone who truly has a certificate will not sweat like this to produce it. Does not know the value of a heard-earned certificate and do not value such. If he is thrust into the office of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, how is he going to be able to understand what merit means? How will the education sector fare under him? how will he encourage hard work? He should simply step down and save us the impending crisis.

wazobiaman:
WHEN DID PHOTOCOPYING BEGIN IN NIGERIA? CAN ANYBODY ANSWER THAT?
THE GENERAL SAID HE LOST HIS CERTIFICATE,
THE MILITARY SAID YOU CAN'T BE COMMISSIONED UNLESS YOUR CREDENTIALS ARE VERIFIED
THE MILITARY SAID AGAIN THAT RESULTS WERE WRITTEN AGAINST HIS NAME BUT NO EVIDENCE OF VERIFICATION
THE MILITARY STATED AGAIN THAT HE HAS A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION
CAN A PERSON ORDINARILY GET EMPLOYED WITHOUT THE EMPLOYER VERIFYING YOUR CREDENTIALS AND ASKING YOU FOR GUARANTORS/or RECOMMENDATION LETTER?

DON'T FORGET ALSO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 131&318 OF NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION,THE EXCERPTS ARE,

Section 131. A person shall be qualified for election to the office of the President if -
(a) he is a citizen of Nigeria by birth;
(b) he has attained the age of forty years;
(c) he is a member of a political party and is sponsored by that political party; and
(d) he has been educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent.
Section 318

"School Certificate or its equivalent" means
(a) a Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent, or Grade II Teacher’s Certificate, the City and Guilds Certificate; or
(b) education up to Secondary School Certificate level; or
(c) Primary Six School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent and -
(i) service in the public or private sector in the Federation in any capacity acceptable to
the Independent National Electoral Commission for a minimum of ten years, and
(ii) attendance at courses and training in such institutions as may be acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for periods totalling up to a minimum of one year, and
(iii) the ability to read, write, understand and communicate in the English language to the satisfaction of the Independent National Electoral Commission, and
(d) any other qualification acceptable by the Independent National Electoral Commission;

THE MAN IS HIGHLY QUALIFIED TO RUN AND NO COURT OF LAW CAN DISQUALIFY HIM!

So why did he lie that he has a WASC? If he is aware of all these conditions, are you not worried that he wanted to fraudulently present himself as having the certificate he does not have in order to achieve his ambition of being Nigerian Democratic President? Is this a sign of a man of integrity? Can he honestly promote anti-corruption as he has made us believe with this type of scandal? Why did he not simply present the certificate he has relying on these other provisions of INEC and allow Nigerians to decide instead of getting enmeshed in this type of controversy? This is definitely NOT the type of CHANGE we want!

Whitehorse:


Na wa o, the issue is not the fact that Buhari is an illiterate.

The issue is that he said he has a certificate and he can not now produce the said certificate. He should have told INEC and Nigerians the truth from day one.

Exactly! He should have submitted the exact one he has instead of lying that he has WAEC. Is this man not a fraudulent corruption fighter? What corruption can be more than lying about what you do not have just to gain an advantage - in this case, to become Nigerian President?
Please, please, please.......... he should be truthful as least!

Trailblazer1:


Buhari is already being humiliated

He will soon be stripped of all his military honours.

And may end up in jail for lying under oath.

Hope you'll share in his humiliation?

No wonder Tinubu stepped down from being VP. The certificate palaver for reach Kilimanjaro! E for be Toronto Vs. WAEC lol

Rendition:
U c d life of deception.....they read only d part of d constitution abt waec alone while not following up on d exceptions which stated on another section of d constitution which explained d exceptions....which stated u can also use 1, NCE certificate , 2: ought too av served 10years in public service with a certificate in d military or Govt service, 3 : ought to av served one year in anyother mandated pubic sector eg NYsC cert and many more and at d end of d section it was stated dat all wud be approved with INEC's discretion...... just heard its a uselss and baseless issue even more reason pdp hasn't gone too court

So why did he not say the exact one he has instead of lying that he has WAEC. Is this man not a fraudulent corruption fighter? What corruption can be more than lying about what you do not have just to gain an advantage - in this case, to become Nigerian President?
Please, please, please.......... he should be truthful as least!

I'm still trying to decipher why you said this because for a fact, I know marriage doesn't kill love. It's being unable to deal with changes in circumstances that slowly crushes it. Or not.

In deed, marriage does not kill love. It actually nurtures it. What happens is that most marriages entered into ignorantly invariably frustrates the couples and kills their 'love'. Marriage founded on love outlasts the couple. A lot of people think they are in love when in reality, they are very, very far away from love. What many people call love is actually feelings/affection/infatuation/beauty/good dressing/comfort/intimacy/wealth etc. Some of these things are actually found in love but they in themselves are not love. Love is tangible. Love is measurable. Love is action. Love is choice. Love is decision. Love is patience. Love is Kindness. Love is unity/peace. Love is endurance. Love is sacrifice, etc. Love hardly fails! Love is the pillar of marriage. You cannot first build a house before adding its pillars. You add the pillars before being assured of a strong, safe and reliable place of abode. Yes, sometimes, a house founded on strong pillars collapses. This is sometimes because the builders are not experienced, building with absent-mindedness, did not check well the soil on which the strong pillars are put, the pillars are not well fortified with quality materials etc. These things happen but it is one in a million! But houses that collapsed as a result of lack of pillars are rampant.

I don't know how to argue concerning relationship matter because its not a one shoe fits all thing. From the experiences I have had and also from other experiences, I have just concluded that love isn't the bane of marriage. Once there is tolerance, trust, respect, mutual understanding, commitment, whatever other qualities I need in a man and of course sex.ual chemistry then we are good to go. Love stems from all these things.

We are saying the same thing then. What I am saying is before[/size][size=8pt] you say I do to any man/woman, be sure that:

1. You have mutual respect for each other - for each other's body too (this does not come in one day)
2. You tolerate each other (this also will mean unconditional acceptance) this also is not a day's job
3. You trust each other (this come with test, remember) not a day's job
4. You reach some understanding (concerning money, job, children, inlaws, conduct, dressing etc) not a day's job
5. You are pooling resources together to make the relationship work (infatuation does not have this patience)
6. You share affection/attraction (You must be proud to associate/be with each other - not one person in front the other behind) takes time too
7. You are ready to defend each other with your life (this is one of the major test of love)
8. You are willing and able to support him/her in weakness/sickness/setbacks/misfortunes etc.
9. You are willing to share your resources (money, power, favour, privilege, talents, etc) this takes a lot of time.
10. You are ready/willing/able to be in subjection to a man (in case of a woman)
11. You are ready/willing/able to love, protect, provide for a woman (in case of a man)
12. You are ready to remain faithful to each other for life
13. You are ready to live together and nurture the union for life

Love in marriage is not a 100 meters dash. It is a capsule filled with all these and more. It is not that "I feel good" feeling. Love is not feeling at all. There are feelings in love but it is not feeling.

There are different kinds of love. I am writing about marriage love here please. So before you tell a man/woman that
you love him/her (in the marriage sense) be sure to have thought on these and many more.

These lend credence to the fact that love must be the bane of marriage and must also come[b] BEFORE [/b]its consummation, not the other way round.

magmama: Love can come after marriage when you realise that the person is not bad as much as you felt afteral. Marriage is all about understanding, tolerance, respect.

In this kind if marriage, communication might be zero at the onset but can be developed when not forced.

I have just few questions for you please:

1. WHAT IF IT COMMUNICATION BREAKS DOWN?

2. WHAT IF ANY OF THE COUPLES EXHITS INTOLERANCE, MISUNDERSTANDING, DISRESPECT?

3. WHAT HAPPENS PLEASE?

Those things listed are not the different kinds of love. They are just what a rational being should look out for before entering into marriage. Most people who claim to be in love ignore some of this salient points which later leads to a breakdown of the marriage when the love no longer sustains them. Love is different from trust, commitment and all those things you listed.

Most people leave Number 4 till after marriage but yet they are in love. Most people even start having issues concerning number 4 before marriage but believe they will sort it out after marriage because they are in love.

If you label Number 7 as a test of love, how then can you also call it a type of love.

Do not let musicians fool you. Love is not in the 'air'. Love is like music produced by an orchestra. It is a combination and cohesion of actions and events. When someone visits a sick person in a hospital, it is an act of love. It is also love. But love is not only visiting people in the hospital. Love is not feelings. Love has feelings but not feelings.

If anyone leaves these things until marriage is consummated, it is not a wise decision! They might get it right later, just like a dead clock is right only but twice. But many, many more people will be trapped in marriage thereby giving the wrong impression to the unmarried about the marriage life that is supposed to be 'heaven on earth'.

All these stuff I listed, to me, is love that is not BLIND - Shine your Eye o.
