SniperInADiaper: How can you judge gayness based on that?

On a scale of 1 to gay, he appears to rank a 1.

Sagamite: Are you Nigerian?

sanniemoe: They deceive urself..U think God is ur daddy U that U want to go and meet. Have U ever thought of MAGNIFICENT GOD IS,I mean have u ever imagined what God looks like and U find yourself thinking way out of line. I dunno what your religion teaches but lemme help U out in the Islamic context and with my own small brain..

Now,lets think of God this way.. A supreme being,The creator of Heaven and earth. Heaven does not literally mean d biblical heaven but a place above the sky,out of the earth,other planets and the galaxy itself. He created not just places but everything inside,outside,within,and around

Every religion believes God sees all of His creation at once. How do U imagine the image of the supreme being who sees over a zillion inhabitants at once. Earth alone has zillions and zillions of inhabitants,humans inclusive (most definitely not countable by any measure,no scientific instrument can measure the population of God's creation). Say,there are over a thousand snake species in the world, each of those specie has got over a billion population scattered all over earth,same goes to every other animal,even d wildest wilds that are thought to be extinct exists somewhere in the forest without the knowledge of any man but God (ALLAH SWT)..same goes to plants and every other inhabitants on earth.Then below the earth,inside the ocean,the vast endless ocean,how and why do U think fish has never gone extinct despite man's cruelty since the time of our earliest civilization?a specie of whatever plant or fish in the ocean has got over a billion of it there..AND U KNOW WHAT GOD SEES THEM ALL AT A TIME,LISTENS AND CATER FOR THEM ALL A TIME
Same in the sky and above the clouds......
then we have other planets with God's creature there too,most definitely living and breathing.Then,there is a space with stars and billions of other beings there too..
U KNOW WHAT? GOD LISTENS AND ANSWERS US ALL AS MANY AS WE ARE.

So chairman,How do U imagine God's image? One who has created all of these and more with no stress at all. Ehnnn!!!!!!

Is it when U die,on judgement day,all of us would be in white robe b4 a tall bearded man in white explaining why and how He made this and that happened?? Astagafirlah. ..if thats ur thought,then U arr jonzing.... Even the sight of a bloody Jinn (astagafirlah) is nuff to strike fear in any man's heart not to talk of the sight of an angel,then God (ALLAHUUU!!!!!!!)
My religion teaches the first form of fear that strikes a dead man is the sight of two angels who reawakens his soul once he's buried. If the sight of an angel,mere angel that was created by God can strike fear to a soul then what do u think of God's sight

NO BEING,NOT EVEN ANGEL GABRIEL (JUBRIL) CAN SEE GOD. NOT EVEN PROPHET ISA (JESUS) OR PROPHET MUHAMMED(SAW) WOULD SEE GOD. He is beyond the sight of any being,prophet or not,Angels and Demons...He is God. Allah li mulk samawaati wal ard...

Nothing happens without His consent.. not even the smallest needle dropped in a vast ocean would sink without His knowledge so my dear,FORGET IT.. GOD NO BE UR DADDY OR UNCLE WEY U WAN SEE O.

laclass: To find out who committed it first i will like you to reason small with me from the scriptures and correct your insinuation my brother.This is the reason.It all started this way, When Satan led Adam and Eve into disobeying Jehovah, an important question was raised. Satan did not call into question Jehovah’s power. Even Satan knows that there is no limit to Jehovah’s power. Rather, Satan questioned Jehovah’s right to rule. By calling God a liar who withholds good from his subjects, Satan charged that Jehovah is a bad ruler. (Genesis 3:2-5) Satan implied that mankind would be better off without God’s ruler-ship. This was an attack on Jehovah’s sovereignty, his right to rule.

Adam and Eve rebelled against Jehovah. In effect, they said: “We do not need Jehovah as our Ruler. We can decide for ourselves what is right and what is wrong.” How could Jehovah settle that issue? How could he teach all intelligent creatures that the rebels were wrong and that his way truly is best? Someone might say that God should simply have destroyed the rebels and made a fresh start. But Jehovah had stated his purpose to fill the earth with the offspring of Adam and Eve, and he wanted them to live in an earthly paradise. (Genesis 1:28) Jehovah always fulfills his purposes. (Isaiah 55:10, 11) Besides that, getting rid of the rebels in Eden would not have answered the question that had been raised regarding Jehovah’s right to rule.

Let us consider an illustration. Imagine that a teacher is telling his students how to solve a difficult problem. A clever but rebellious student claims that the teacher’s way of solving the problem is wrong. Implying that the teacher is not capable, this rebel insists that he knows a much better way to solve the problem. Some students think that he is right, and they also become rebellious. What should the teacher do? If he throws the rebels out of the class, what will be the effect on the other students? Will they not believe that their fellow student and those who joined him are right? All the other students in the class might lose respect for the teacher, thinking that he is afraid of being proved wrong. But suppose that the teacher allows the rebel to show the class how he would solve the problem.
Jehovah has done something similar to what the teacher does. Remember that the rebels in Eden were not the only ones involved. Millions of angels were watching. (Job 38:7; Daniel 7:10) How Jehovah handled the rebellion would greatly affect all those angels and eventually all intelligent creation. So, what has Jehovah done? He has allowed Satan to show how he would rule mankind. God has also allowed humans to govern themselves under Satan’s guidance.

The teacher in our illustration knows that the rebel and the students on his side are wrong. But he also knows that allowing them the opportunity to try to prove their point will benefit the whole class. When the rebels fail, all honest students will see that the teacher is the only one qualified to lead the class. They will understand why the teacher thereafter removes any rebels from the class. Similarly, Jehovah knows that all honest hearted humans and angels will benefit from seeing that Satan and his fellow rebels have failed and that humans cannot govern themselves. Like Jeremiah of old, they will learn this vital truth: “I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.”—Jeremiah 10:23.

tosingcfr: Too much of reading of Karl Marx or Marx's influenced writtings is worrying the O.P.''religion is the opium of the masses''

Ajibam: you are right all the way,but you are critically wrong in two ways...
Christianity is not a religion but a lifestyle...your personal encounter with Jesus....religion is a sweet poison,true!..but not Christianity because it is a lifestyle...
heaven is not a state of mind...it is a destination, a place...
you are still yet to know him,come closer to be unveiled

aeu1: I am responding to this thread for the sake of at least one person who will learn something new here. This stripping has a lot to do with the spiritual realm (just realise that mere mentioning of spirit will make many to object profusely), however, for those that are aware that spiritual realm exists: in witchcraft, one of the popular ways of overpowering a target spiritually and consequently physically is to manifest scenes to attract sympathy after the offender must have committed an atrocity. The background to all these stripping is neither scientific, nor psychiatric in most cases as alluded to by many commentaries in this thread. Someone mentioned soldiers would not capitulate, if they are overpowered spiritually, they will equally turn back on a definite note.
Lesson: the main reason I post this is that, though we may not have encounter of our offenders striping, many times we nevertheless do experience the same spiritual operation at work. E,g,: assuming you are a manager in an office, your cashier STEALS say N1m, when she closes for the day this shortfall was detected, she (the cashier) weeps, or evoke similar scene, naturally, you normally would have have her arrested or call her guarantor to make up for the loss, but if you in the NORMAL WAY OF SHOWING HUMAN SYMPATHY console her, perhaps, issue her handkerchief considering the volume of tears she is actually shedding - that case will automatically become closed. I am not saying this happens in all instance, but it is a simple tool used by withes/wizards to escape after committing even heinous atrocity. The keyword here is discernment. Similarly, some evil parents purposefully "download" serious or constant sickness or unnatural poverty in partnership with demons and use it as a trap to financially drain their SYMPATHETIC children. Ordinarily, my post does not make sense to reasoning, that is exactly how spiritual issues affects mere casual physical matters without detection. Having this background in mind, will you still blame those police? Someone will equally notice the preponderance of this behavior in localities where people there tend to have a high level of spiritual consciousness!!!
Conclusion: as much as it's good to be sympathetic, try and avoid being TRAPPED by agents by being prayerful and observant, especially where when you encounter a sympathetic scenario yet your spirit does not give you inner peace to show sympathy. Someone will immediately recall a typical motor park in major Nigerian cities ........ traps for sympathy along with genuine cases. Some beggers there are housing estate owners!!!!! The world is full of evil.
As earlier submitted, please kindly don't waste your time criticizing my position, I am passing info to a soul that badly need this piece.
God bless you all.

She drives slowly, being careful of the many vehicles and the milling crowd in the market. Suddenly, she pulls over her Sports Utility Vehicle, alights, walks into a stall and joins other shoppers selecting second-hand underwear from a heap.

She is lucky to find a parking space because it is scarce on Fridays at Vesper Market, off Lagos-Badagry Expressway in Badagry Local Government Area, Lagos. On the major market day (Friday) finding space to either walk or park vehicles is usually a big challenge.

That is the day shoppers converge on the market to buy from the newest consignments of second-hand clothes from London, United States, Italy and other countries.

Second-hand clothes? Yes, even second-hand underwear!

There, you find buyers who resell the wares in other smaller markets. You will also find direct users – both low and medium income earners. Wholesale transactions are done on Fridays. On offer are all types of used clothes, shoes, bags and underwear for men, women and children.

The woman, who later identified herself as Danny, told Saturday PUNCH that she had a regular customer in the market. She visits the market only when her customer informs her, via the telephone, that there are new consignments.

“My customer has my (telephone) number and she calls me anytime she has new items,” she told our correspondent, adding that though she could afford new materials, the used ones were of better quality.

“I prefer this. I can’t imagine myself buying sub-standard new underwear. It’s frustrating because you pay more for lesser quality,” she said.

Danny, however, does not know that using second-hand underwear can be hazardous to her health.

An undergraduate, Marylyn Okon, told our correspondent that buying second-hand dresses and underwear gives her the opportunity of buying quality outfits at lower prices. But she is aware of the health implications.

“Yes, I know there are health implications but I cannot afford to buy new clothes in the regular boutiques, these ‘bend down’ boutiques give me the opportunity to wear good quality clothes in school and I don’t have to pay much. My dressing is as good as that of my colleagues and except I tell them, they won’t know that I bought them from here. Second-hand clothes are a blessing to poor people like me. I buy used dresses and underwear,” she said.

Felix Goodman sells second-hand underwear. He does not know that the goods he handles everyday can cause harm not only to his customers’ health, but to his own health too.

“Wives usually buy on behalf of their husbands. We have real good things and those who know the difference prefer them to the new ones in terms of quality. It’s a good business and I make good profit from it. Our customers continue to increase because people bring their friends who admire what they see on them,” he said.

Vesper Market is fast taking the shine off popular second-hand markets in Aswani, Yaba and Katangua, all in Lagos. These markets are also common in Kaduna, Abuja, Warri and Benin City among others.

The rule there is, ‘never mind who’s staring; everyone is in the market to buy high quality materials at cheaper rates. So, the shoppers bend down to select their choice items, from the heaps of boxers, singlets, T-shirts, panties, brassiere, camisoles, knickers, girdles and night gowns, among others.

However, medical studies have raised the alarm over the risk that these used items pose.

They say some bacteria, fungi, parasitic and viral infections can be contracted through wearing of second- hand clothes.

They claim Sexually Transmitted Diseases are not only contracted through sexual relationship with infected persons.

According to studies, while used clothes generally pose health dangers to users, the underwear has been found to present greater risks.

Infections such as virginal and skin candidiasis, scabies, tinea corporis, chicken pox, gonorrhoea, syphilis, and even Hepatitis A, B and C, among others, can be linked to wearing underwear previously used by infected persons.

A consultant dermatologist, Dr. Olufunmilayo Ajose, said the risk of infection is heightened where users fail to wash, properly disinfect and iron these clothes.

She said though the harsh economic realities might make it difficult to ban the sale and use of second-hand underwear and clothes, there should be proper awareness on handling and using them.

Ajose said, “The handling from the source is very important. If the clothes are not properly stored but are bundled together, they may become mouldy and fungal. If in turn the person who buys them does not wash and iron before wearing them, he will be at risk of picking any infection that the previous user has.

“If proper care is taken, no disease will cling permanently to the clothes. So any second-hand clothes or underwear that you cannot iron, don’t buy them or you risk being infected with STIs, scabies and other fungi, bacteria and virus-linked infections.”

But a Consultant Surgeon at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Dr. Philip Ogunjimi, said people should avoid used underwear entirely because of the health risks.

He said that some bacteria are very resistant and can survive harsh conditions for long on clothes.

He said that a regular wash may not get rid of some of the bacteria, especially those that come with discharge from the body of the previous user.

He added that strong reagents are sometimes needed to get rid of them, stressing that such clothes must be ironed so that the heat can kill the eggs, where present.

“It is true that there are great risks in using second-hand underclothes. STIs are the most likely ones. This practice should be discouraged in the interest of healthy living,” said Ogunjimi.

A medical counsellor based in Delta State, Dr. Abidemi Shabi, said there are possibilities of contracting various kinds of infections through the wearing of second-hand clothes.

He said, “Fungi infections include Tinea (Ring worm), viral infections include genital warts for underwear, and parasitic infestations such as scabies and body lice, which is also capable of causing louse-borne diseases.

“All of these infections can, however, be prevented simply by washing and ironing of the used clothes before wearing them.”

A Gynaecologist and the Medical Director, BeeHess Hospital, Lagos, Dr. Bakare Olabode, said organisms in pus on underwear can stay alive and can be dangerous to the health of the next user if not properly treated.

“Anyone buying these materials should ensure that antiseptic is used to disinfect them and the underwear should either be lined out in the sun or ironed before wearing them. Itching under the thighs, candidiasis and other STIs can be prevented.”

In a comment posted on the Internet, Dr. Folusho Ajani of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital said second-hand clothes might also cause hepatitis.

She said the B, C, D and G types might be transmitted through blood, sweat and semen of infected persons. She explained that candidiasis, a STI, is caused by the yeast fungus found on the skin.

She, however, stressed that vaginal and skin variants could be contracted from using second-hand clothes and underwear, previously used by an infected person.

She said the yeast fungi responsible for the disease could be passed on to the new user if precaution is not taken before wearing them.

She stressed the need to thoroughly wash the underwear with disinfectants and iron them before use.

She said, “Candidiasis of the skin may also be contracted through used clothes, though it is rare except there are cuts on the skin. Hepatitis viruses hardly survive outside the body for a long time.”
