nmreports: Great discussion. What baffles me however is that we discuss Christianity not with the intent to correct, uplift or regenerate minds but to bring about more arguments, discord and grouse among people.
For the sake of not arguing, yes there are a lot of challenges with the church today but more importantly, with us... who without passion and love and reverence for Christ only say without doing.
Let us begin to strive to be perfect, working out our own salvation before speaking against things we do not totally have control over. Our own life and eternity however is in our hands. Work it out in all humility, with support from the spirit of God and guard it with all jealousy.
Thank You very much.....its been long I read a sensible post like this one on religion section .
Adonis86: REASON WHY SOME IGBO PEOPLE DON'T GREET ELDERS IN THEIR VILLAGE... Just greet an old woman and she will tell you the story of your generation like; Morning Nwam, Bia, Is this not Okechukwu the son of Ebube, the man who raped two girls before getting married to Obiageli the daughter of the wine tapper who fell from a palm tree while staring at the buttocks of Juliliana the village famous prostitute who aborted sixteen pregnancies before getting married to Okeke the Dibia man from the neighboring village. Is it not your Grandfather that died of madness? Nwam, so you have grown so big, Kedu?
Talk2Bella: A university is a place of learning and so many other things, meet people, make life connections, get pregnant, get carried away, be serious, be unserious and so many others, but mostly it is a place where major decisions which will affect and effect our lives are made, today I will be talking about five things I did while I was still in the university that I totally regret today.
1. I trekked like the children of Israel in my first semester, I schooled in Republic of Benin, and a hundred cefa was like a hundred naira to me, I didn’t want to waste that amount of money on a short distance, I trekked to school, trekked back home, trekked to and fro under the sun and rain and then I became as black as Esau in the bible, till today no cream I have applied have been able to was off Cotonou sun from my skin.
2. Doing free jobs for students, I have never hidden the fact that I am a pure ajepako, I have always been street smart and a street kid and it’s made me the hustler I am today, living in Cotonou is very expensive I no go lie abeg, mum wasn’t sending me money, I was doing house agent work upandan and you know students now they don’t want to pay agent fees, they’d say Bella please do it for us na, na we we, when you get the house we will settle you well, na so I go trek under sun o, knock from compound to compound at the end of the day shishi I won’t see, and so the history of how I became a female Esau continued.
3. Not paying for food or paying less than I ate, mehn I no de carry last, I just eat, stand up and walk away, whenever I feel generous I just write my own receipt and give them, I thought a few of my friends this trick and very soon the whole clique would go there, until we were caught and had to use argument to say we’d pay; well after that day whenever we went there to eat they made us pay first.
4. I didn’t date, my mates were busy finding the love of their lives and all I thought about was where my next meal was going to come from and how to pay my next school fees, I just wasn’t interested at all, I didn’t want any boy to come and beg me the small egusi I brought from home or eat my yam with me and I honestly saw it as a distraction, I finished secondary school very early and gained admission very late all I thought about was just finish and leave, but now I totally regret this who knows me and my bobo would have been going to camp now, but I’m glad I finally found someone.
5. I didn’t keep in touch with 98% of my classmates, by nature I am a chronic loner, my only female friend was my roomie and now we’re very close, I had two male friends and one of them is married now with a kid and my female friend stays in the east so you can imagine when people ask me about my friends what I tell them and what their responses are, this is my nature and a habit which I am trying to break, I am a very sociable person, people like me and want to be friends with me but if you push too hard I feel choked and begin to withdraw and now I have just few friends that I am very proud of.
These are the things I totally regret and a few I don’t want to mention like writing for students but hey! We all got flaws and no one is perfect, I am heading for camp now and I will be better and stronger when I come back.
OP, you are me. Its just that you are a girl and am a boy,while you have this regrets because you are through with tertiary education, I still have a chance since am still part of the system. I guess I can still do the opposite......what am I even saying self

Keneking: Is this job pensionable? Is this job gratuity-able? Can one build a career in this job? Can one obtain loan? If one resigns from this job,can the person qualify for vacant slot at the ministry? What mode of dressing acceptable? Suit or casual?
What Fayose said is nothing but the truth and the truth
but the afonjas will always find a way to rubbish whatever that eulogizes the great IGBO spirit and u are seriously telling me afonjas with such a trait will stand alone as a entity hm
Look here as messed up as this zoooooo zooooo ooo country we are living in is, Anambra has seriously demonstrated the attribution of great igbo spirit which will eventually over-run odudua and the rest of Africa
Now listen, i have a friend who is going out with a Kenya lady and you know what this lady said; she like Igbos and she does not like yorubas. She said to my guy; u need to come down to kenya to witness the way Igbos drive the Indians out of their market.
We are specially made by the most high God yah; Chukwuabiahma. Chukwu Okike, Afonja we are not mate menhhh. The only problem is a lot of Igbos dnt know who they are; if they know Nigeria will burn over night
The same could be said about Ghanians in diaspora; IGBO open our eyes o
CXLVII: How Africans believed in a simple colonization tool of the West that told them that a man in the Middle-East died for the sins of the whole world(Asia, Africa, America e.t.c) still Marvels my sanity.
It's simply just logical and easy to decode the gimmick. Majority past 90% only happen to have inherited religion, very few found it and none of the few re Christians or Muslims
and am very sure your post is also based on a research.
Billyonaire: The sun is too harsh around this tropical Nigeria, look at billionaires with skin so rough like village hunters. Does it mean they dont even know basic SPF 30-70 moisturizers to apply on their skin daily ? The only sign to know these old school men are rich is their fat/carbs filled stomach and muscles.
By the way, Why Emeka dey cry na. When I tell them to study Quantum Physics to understand the nature of life and the alternate universes they are being lazy. He would have probably be interacting with his late Dad in another universe and understand that death is a transition of consciousness through any of the billions of blackholes to any of the universes.
