I am Christian I believe in Jesus.
My experience with so called Christian ladies so far haven't been so palatable.
There should be a difference between a Christian and an unbeliever but it seems this Christian ladies are actually the worse.

Are you aware that anyone who goes to church is generally termed as a Christian or calls himself a Christian, whether the person is an armed robber, ritualist, male/female prøstîtüte, etc? But there's a very unique term for people who are truly Christian and it's called 'born again Christians'. So these girls you're meeting, do they tell you they're born again?? Or you simply saw them in the same church you attend and concluded they're firebrand virgins??

Is the husband underaged? If he's not, it's the husband she should take the fight to, not the lady who may not even know that the man is married. Not excusing the lady's fornication anyway, but the husband should be confronted for his adultery.

Nigerians always in a habit of eating their future, who else realizes that they could have made much more setting up a wild life park or a zoo of exotic animals than this one time plate of protein

Young man, you're very unlearned. Go to YouTube and see thousands of American hunters killing wild life for meat. Cure yourself of ignorance.

pocohantas:
It is clear you know nothing of what you are saying. Nigerian couples don't love plenty children? I should have this argument with you?
Better take your epistle to healthcare centers and your male groups.

It'd be nice to have this discussion within the precinct of southerners, majority of whom we know practice monogamy instead of northerners who are mostly polygamous and therefore have maaany children. For the former, I can boldly say that anyone whom you see have more than 4 children who were born in this 21st century, were as a result failed family planning. I know a close family who was a victim of this, and recently, there's this very wealthy woman I know on Facebook who said about two years ago that after the birth of her last child, she has been very concerned that her family planning could fail her one day and she takes in again. Guess what, a few weeks ago, she announced the birth of her fifth child. Her fear had materialized — would you then say she wanted plenty children??

IyaTola:
You make a valid point—many people end up with 3 or 4 kids due to poor family planning or unexpected life turns. That’s a real issue, and it's important to talk about it without shame.

However, I’d argue that the same principle applies, even when people have many children “intentionally.” Intent is not the same as strategy. Just because someone planned to have 5, 6, or more kids doesn’t mean they thought deeply about the emotional, financial, or psychological cost especially in today’s world.

A lot of people grew up with the cultural mindset that "children are wealth" or “the more the merrier,” but times have changed. Raising one well-rounded child today takes far more than it did a few decades ago—education, safety, emotional support, and global competitiveness are all high-stakes.

So while it may not be a “mistake” in the traditional sense, it’s often a result of emotional reasoning, tradition, or pressure not actual long-term strategic thinking.

Choosing to have a large family is a personal right, yes. But let’s not confuse that with foresight or strategy especially when many parents eventually admit they feel stretched thin, exhausted, or emotionally unavailable.

Leave ChatGPT alone and use your brain to air your opinion.

To add to the list: You don't avoid fornication by not fornicating, but by avoiding what can lead to it. Especially in this age of the internet and satanic social media posts by the sons and daughters of Jezebel.

Christianoir:
I see people saying you shouldn’t care about what people say but I’ve been trying it not working because people might say bad thing about me and I will start thinking about it for days

How do I get that I don’t care attitude
I know inot possible not to care but at least I don’t want people opinions to weigh we down

How do you guys do it
Please suggest guys
It weighing me down

It depends on what they're saying about you. If you're a yahoo boy and that's what they're gossiping about you on, then you need to repent. If you’re a prolific fornicator who brings a array of different ladies to sleep with, then you also have to change. Even though I'm not excusing their gossiping, what you're doing is evil and should actually trouble you even if nobody is gossiping about them.

There's no solution that can defeat a wealthy incumbent African president

Very true. All the incumbent African presidents that ever lost elections were very poor, including Jonathan who had to rent a 1 bedroom apartment after he left office and now rides motorcycle around.

You failed to tell us the number of people the pot would feed; therefore this survey is useless.

jmoore:
Forget all those curses. All these politicians wey dey steal wey never die.

So because all armed robbers are not in jail, it means the police have not been arresting armed robbers??

jmoore:
His money oh. But na you dey wail..

What has criticising him have to do with wailing?? He may even see this thread and make a U-turn about those wasteful donations and spending.

SeeWahala:
All these APC e-thugs are getting more and more desperate everyday

Now even helinues is using his alternate accounts to be creating threads to cause a ruckus here and there because of his fear of a better Nigeria

These threads springing up make me happy, it means Peter obi is and has always been doing something right.
They screamed build bridges and now that he's doing just that they have started crying hahahaha 🤣😂

I can never be helinues, stop deceiving yourself. You're unnecessarily making that guy feel like a legend.

Build bridge by trying to buy people's support through donations? If he ends up spending ₦30b in the process, he would take it back if he wins. So how is he different from the other corrupt politicians??

If election is still more than 18 months away and he's already throwing ₦10m left and center, imagine what he'd do when primaries draw near or if/after he wins the primaries. To me, it doesn't show that this man is politically rugged, because even if it can work for a senatorial election, it obviously can't for a national election.

And of course, it also shows desperation on his part, but much more shows political immaturity.

Peter Obi began to become very popular in 2022 when he left PDP and became the LP presidential candidate. But suddenly, he began to dole out millions here and there to build boreholes, donate to universities and what have you. At the end, he lost the election. But in order for people not to mock him that he was doing all those things for election purposes, he has continued to do it up till now.

Is Mr. Obi such a political illiterate not to know that political support gotten through philanthropic gestures do not last? Has he forgotten how Godwin Maduka donated all his wealth to buy voters' support, gave Alex a £1b contract to run online propaganda for him and at the end got less than 1% in the 2021 Anambra governorship election ??

You said satanic connections.
Then compared them to crimals.
= satanic criminals.
I connected the dots. 🙂

No, that's not the logic behind my using an instance of a General's daughter and a criminal being friends. It was in response to you saying since Christians say their God is stronger they shouldn't shy away from marrying an "ezenwanyi". To make it ultra plain: That I have a rifle doesn't mean I'll leave my door open or intentionally pass through a den where criminals usually hang out.

pocohantas:
Naw So traditional worshippers are satanic criminals? I agree with you on not being unequally yoked with unbelievers.

I said "satanic connections" not "criminals". Any spiritual power that doesn't come from God comes from the devil. So connect the dots.

budaatum:
Thank you for your opinion

No, it's not an opinion.

pocohantas:
Give me her number.
I need bestie...
Why are you scared of traditional worshippers?
Isn't your God stronger?💀

The same God told us to not marry those with satanic connections. It's like asking 'why would the son of a military general not want to make friends with a criminal?'

Complaints to or against moderators must be sent privately. Please don't disobey, disrespect, or defame them.

This is what people always say about Nigerian presidents, which really means they are totally disconnected from the economic reality on ground. They think the sleek cars they see on the road when moving in their convoy around Abuja city centre is a reflection of the generality of the populace.

Please, mods, next time try to include background definitions or explanation of nepo and LAPO, so that people who weren't aware of it from Twitter, can at least have a better grasp, just like Naptu2 always does.

budaatum:
My contribution is not about ownership, but about where they make and produce what they make, which is in China, and which made me ask if they are "cheap low quality products".

And that means that your comment wasn't in sync with what the original post is about.

budaatum:
You've set up your own argument that "Neither Tesla nor Apple is Chinese", and would now have to argue it all by yourself since I you quoted never said "Tesla and Apples are Chinese"

In the very first line of the op is the word "produce". And my response was a question that has not been responded to.

The assumption is, if you produce something, you made it, which is why Iphones and Teslas made or produced in China will be labelled made in China (unless you'd like to argue otherwise, of course).

The following might inform you:

No, that assumption is wrong. They're only Chinese if the company is owned by Chinese people. As far as the owners are Americans, they're American companies even if they manufacture their products in China.

budaatum:
Read the discussion from the beginning please. No one said Tesla and Apple are Chinese.

The argument is, not all products made in China, like iphones and teslas, are cheap low quality products, as the op implied.

.

Actually, the OP never used the term "Made in". Rather he used "Korean" and "Chinese", and that makes all the difference.

Factcheck0001:
This kinda news won't make fp cos it's not painting Nigeria n Tinubu bad but let it b any bad news that paint tinubu n Nigeria bad then viam it's on front page

Baseless emotional manipulation and victimization hues that Obi supporters also sometimes use to whip up sympathy.

budaatum:
Read it again please. I never said "China tesla phones".

Neither Tesla nor Apple is Chinese. That they're produced in China doesn't automatically make them Chinese. Just the same way Samsung phones made in India or Vietnam don't mean they're Indian or Vietnamese.

Whereas Tinubu is bribing other governors to decamp to the APC, another governor has been steadily begging to join for free and has now been finally denied.
Crystal clear that this man is not coming back.

Mrexcell:
DR Congo is the richest in africa in terms of natural resources which is reportedly worth over $20t.

And also the poorest, because having natural resources doesn't automatically translate to prosperity for the citizenry. That's why Singapore has no iota of natural resources but is amongst the wealthiest countries in terms of real wealth.

At the end, he's still indirectly INSISTING that he's very sure, but only regretting that he shared it publicly. And it's crystal clear that if it is a lie, Aisha would have sent a statement to say so. Conclusion: it's true.

Lordspicy:
I'm not dating anyone I won't be sleeping with. Why have a BF and preach purity ?

From the story, they were both planning on getting married after graduation, so it wasn't a casual girl-boyfriendship for people who are into fornicationship. I think the proper name for the guy should be partner not boyfriend.

Dalohad:
There would be legions condolences. Even former US president Jimmy Carter who died recently at more than 100 years had condolences swarming all over by world leaders.

I agree with you on that, but Nigeria is not on the same pedestal with a country like US, UK, Germany, France, etc.
