Whynotthetruth:
And in all, you made no attempt to address the message here or the injustice...just interested in pouring your invectives on Nnamdi Kanu...Anyway, the justice MUST prevail...and those who wish injustice on others will also experience sufficient dose of injustice too...

Please, what's the injustice? And who is being treated unjustly and how? Would love to know. Thanks.

This was before Arsenal was paired with Bayern Munich

Alanzazani:
Atiku is speaking and i am listening. he is talking about issues that bother on Nigeria. i feel we might have a voice under an atiku presidency and all sections of the country will have a better sense of belonging. he has so many strong points to unseat buhari. he is a better nationalist, better travelled and has friends across every divide. He is not the best we can come up with but so far he is the only one talking. Nigerians politicians are juat cowards why are they afraid to challenge thia government. they hardly want to sacrifice for thia country but like masses to die and sacrifice for them. i admire his courage no matter what

That is how they all behave. Buhari once walked this path and we thought he was true. Typical Nigerian politicians, they're all one and the same.

Atiku2019:
Nigerians are Wiser because they can't wait to send Buhari back to Daura

Of all persons, it won't be your power hungry employer, trust me.

Why do these people marry shallow wives? Did the 'witches' impregnate' her? I don't understand why she's 'calling them out'. If they have her time now, they'd say the 'world' is wicked

ddippset:
but I hope you also recall how nueur was robbed in 2013 and ribery was robbed in 2014. abi na only 2010 you remember?

Do you recall FIFA's update on the Ballon d'or on their website? It reads 'The FIFA Ballon d'or is not award for the best player in the outstanding team for a calendar year, but the player who has the most outstanding performance in a year!'

This was even before the event itself. Neur had an impressive performance but Ronaldo’s was simply extraordinary in that same year. Do well to read up on this.

odinese:
ronaldo didn't do shit in d euro's final, ronaldo never did shit in d champions League final and he was awarded the balon d'or...wat a joke!
If this balon d'or should be awarded to the player who played well in the champions league and euros, I think he should go to Pepe...
Ronaldo is so overrated and it baffles me that people don't see this things(especially the man u and real Madrid fans)... U guys are the most biased people on earth.
Messi deserves this balon d'or by a large margin. He won the la liga and copa dey Rey Nd got Argentina to the copa america final. Not only that he was just playing, but he was the most influential player in that field. Compared to ronaldo who was lost in the two finals...

It's high time all this favoring of real Madrid and Cristiano ronaldo stop unless all these award will be like wash...

And if u write, they will say u are hating while they know wat actually happened in that match.

Obviously pained! What would you say of Messi in 2010 who was tutored by Wesley Sneidjer in the Champions League? What was Messi's contribution to the Argentinean team in the 2010 world Cup in South Africa? Inter Milan defeated Barcelona in the Champions League, all thanks to Sneidjer. Netherlands went that far in the World Cup all thanks to the very same Sneidjer. Argentina was humiliated by Germany, four goals to nil, a match which saw Diego Maradona, the then Argentina coach, cry like a baby. Spain ended up winning the World Cup but a Messi who neither won the Champions League nor the World Cup won the Ballon d'or. Such hypocrisy!

Well, if not for Blatter's bias between the duo which he childishly let out during an interview about one being a football player and the other a lover of salons, Messi would still have won this. We still recall how Sneidjer was robbed in 2010.

LorDBolton:
FYI. I'm a hardcore madrid fan, but unhappy with the brand of football Zidane got them playing

Right from sevilla in d super cup we've not addressed our defensive frailties.

Coupled with the way we've played in europe dis season?

And 2nd leg is away?

Do u really think we'd keep a clean sheet @ the bernabeu?

Zidane's brand is good. He's still inexperienced coach but his on the job learning ability is just unique. The likes of Mourinho and Ancelloti ruined the club's philosophy with their studded defensive plays. Zidane, on the other hand, has been able to offset Barcelona as far as the midfield is concerned in the La Liga. He was a midfielder and his focus has been just on that. I must say he has been brilliant even though most of his line ups are sheer gambles. It's not about the clean sheet here. It's about scoring goals. The lesser goals they score, the better for us. I'm so certain that no club, other than Atletico and Juventus, can prevent Madrid from scoring.

No like this good for our democracy but it is good that the tides are fast turning. The previous government did the same in Ekiti and this same Rivers. I still recall how PEJ u settled Okrika just so they could win.

Anything but PDP. Wife thinks he's powerful. He remains a child where RA is.

Thank you guys for the humour

Kingsley1000:
Madrid might be the first team to carry champions league back to back...

I'm telling you

[quote author=PaperLace post=51859839]Interesting response, I must admit. However, you missed a couple of things.

Unnecessary is subjective.

Unnecessary is not subjective here, except you are a very religious person who would follow the doctrines of the church and pastor to the latter, while little or no attention is paid to the Scriptures. Again, dogma could be a reason here.

Some people see Registry as unnecessary too, different stroke for different folks

The registry could be unnecessary, but trust me, these same folks run helter skelter should an embassy ask them to provide evidences of their claims that they're indeed married.

Most churches?
How many times have you been married? And where did you do your survey?
Some big orthodox churches wed 5-10 people every Saturdays. I guess all the couples would decorate each pillar. Nice.
The church decoration team handles that Sir.

Okay, so I read this part and found myself laughing. You insisted the couples involved don't 'waste' money to decorate yet they could decorate the pillars. How many bundle of mixed fabrics would they need to achieve that? So the church gives the decorating team a percentage of the church's fund and ask them to willingly buy materials to design the church for the next person who would be getting married or are you referring to old fabrics in the church that are kept and stashed somewhere?

Church programmes? Not true, they request for just one for their archive. Sometimes for the Pastors...

I totally disagree with you here. However, if you're right, then it's safe to say you're painting a picture of a 'sharp' wedding. Used programme booklets with different names on them, same old processional and recessional hymnals.Well, going by your post, this is the first time I would be reading of a wedding wherein the pastors alone would have the programme.

Photographs? Wouldn't you want your photographs? If you don't want, still not compulsory.

Sure! It would be nice! But you know what else is not? Asking the entire church group to come out one after the other to take pictures with the newly weds. You most times see the list of people at the back of the programme going to 30, sometimes 40.

You may have to specify the requirements, so far you're throwing around facile assertions.

How about a specified size of containers or coolers as they are called, indicating how the senior pastor's food and other things must be packed, followed by that of other ministers? Or you want to tell me you haven't witnessed or heard of this before?

'Poor people' get married in churches every Sat/Sun, how exactly did they go past these expenses you keep talking of?

True this, they do, but question is 'where'? I stand to be corrected; only Catholic churches do this, perhaps I say theirs is the only one I'm aware of. I was born into the Anglican church, so I know what I'm saying. And the Catholic church does theirs under the guise of 'mass weddings'. Just recently, I heard an announcement over the radio, of a Catholic church calling for the 'poor' who have intentions ofgetting married but do not have money to fund it.

Reception is where the money goes down. Budgeting for 150-300 people isn't beans, and can never equal the amount spent in church (that's if you do 'spend').

Just before you digress, I believe our bone of contention was the statutory against the church. Just as I mentioned, the reception is solely to entertain your guests. Receptions are no longer what they used to be. Beyond food and gifts, you tend to see crazy things such as drama presentations, talent hunts and all sorts these days. Regardless, reception is solely based on your strength and not even compulsory. I have seen weddings wherein reception took place at the traditional marriage premises and everyone went home afterwards.

There doesn't have to be teaching of it in the Bible.
Lots of youths fornicate with reckless abandon, then remember the Scriptures when issues like this arise.
If you're such an advocate of the Scriptures, I hope you follow it to the letter.

Unfortunately, you totally missed it here. You shouldn't have even delved into this area. What is the role of the church during weddings? To curb fornication, you think? If yes, have you ever asked why your church would conduct all forms of tests on a couple but would never conduct a virginity test on the woman? Does it not amuse you that pregnancy test would be conducted yet that of sex would just be verbal questioning and not virginity test? Does it not amuse you? How then is the church tackling this, if this is your excuse for church weddings?

Another lie, most Pastors don't attend receptions 'cos some activities that take place there might be considered 'worldly' inclusive of the gbedus.

Funny! Do you think this is the reason? Partially, but not the main thing. Like i earlier mentioned, a typical Nigerian pastor would have been sorted in the church. The foods are neatly packed and tucked in the boot of his car before everyone departs. He has done his job and he has been given his food. Attending the reception would only mean he is a glutton.

Have you ever asked yourself the importance of church's wedding? These are copied Western cultures that are now more adopted and adapted far more than Queen Victoria in 1840.

You might be married in the church but know that your marriage is not legal and legally recognized if it is not backed up by the law. Let there be a million parental consent, it still does not mean it is legally recognized.

Traditional Marriage: This is indication that you have all traditional rites of a woman's family and you're considered to be man and wife according to tradition and families. It does not cover the law. Parental consent equals God's blessings. (Read Genesis 24)

Court or Statutory Marriage: This only indicates that you're legally recognized by the law. For someone who skips the traditional marriage for this, it is said that such a man stole a woman and did not do the right thing.

Church or White Wedding: I guess we should say it indicates that one is married before the church, pastor or something

Now I understand that this isn't just a meme but the handwriting of spiritual forces

We can all rest now.

Unimaginable123:
What's d essence of Arsenal topping d group when it's bayern Munich we will jam again

I almost broke my back laughing

Kassidy90:
I think as an arsenal fan I prefer Bayern this season ..if you ve been following bundesliga u will knw wat I mean

Bayern has been dead a while now. Their perfomance this season has been shocking, but that is not to say they might put Arsenal in their place. Atletico troubled them because they are a defensive side. The same does not apply to Arsenal.

Bayern Munich all over Twitter already

LorDBolton:
Napoli? Real Madrid don commot UCL be that

When marcelo like to overlap?

Insigne go use carvajal shine cross infield to unmarked callejon tire

Hamsik wey sabi shoot?

Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid (Quarter Final)

Bayern vs Arsenal

Mtchewww... How can we play Napoli What happened to Arsenal

adeaks:
Arsenal fans already preparing their mind for a tough draw.

Funny thing is; while arsenal is hoping for a good draw, those big teams we are afraid of are also praying not to draw arsenal. Arsenal on their day is match for Bayern or Real Madrid.

There are no two ways about it, Arsenal's draw would be tough.
