Ok, I hear you but I don't understand how this leads to the conclusion "Nigeria is heaven on earth".

- Subject the parastatal to public scrutiny by requiring complete transparency in their operations. All decisions, income and expenses must be posted on their public website for all to see.
- Officers who are found to be corrupt must be disgraced and dealt with severely. They must lose their jobs.

Almost every relationship must break up sooner or later if you're not getting married. Taking back gifts after break-ups would mean that any gift you recieve from your girlfriend/boyfriend should be considered as a lease!

Welcome back!

I do not play hard-to-get. I am hard to get!

When I ask you "what do you love to do?" and you say "singing, dancing, cooking, cleaning, fashion, and men" I just roll my eyes and move on to the next prospect. There has to be more to a woman than all that.

'God' is powerful but he isn't a controlling God. He gave instructions on how to live but you decide if you take them or not.

Imagine a parent that tells her baby "don't jump off the balcony" and then allows the baby to jump of and die. Would she be able to defend herself by saying "I am not a controlling parent"? No, she's irresponsible!

You can live the way you want but you have to be prepared for what comes afterwards (the consequences).

Can you tell me why never-ending fire is a just consequence for not believing the bible's unprovable claims?

God gave Lucifer a chance. The way things ended up shouldn't be questioned. God knows why he created Lucifer.

Why shouldn't the way things ended up be questioned? Is it because you have no answers?

Earthquakes would've been less if men weren't so careless.

This is not true, but supposing it is, what about those "few" earthquakes that will still happen? What about volcanic eruptions? What about floods and landslides? What about malaria? Isn't that sufficient reason to question the existence of a just, all-powerful God?

[My ancestors] never came accross the bible so I don't think they'lld be punished for that.

This is wrong. From what chapter and verse in the bible did you get this idea?

Like I said, God created man, man decided to turn evil. If the person didn't say anything because he/she wanted that to happen, that's evil BUT God didn't create the person to be evil. He/She chose to be evil.

God (supposing he exists) created man, knowing fully well that he will turn evil, then he throws man into never-ending torment for turning evil as expected. That makes no sense.

This is like a woman that adopts a lion's cub knowing that it's going to eat her children when it grows up, then when the lion finally eats her children, she says "what an evil lion! I'm gonna have to take revenge by chopping off its limbs and gouging out it's eyes. I'm gonna torture it to death for eating my children". Wouldn't you question that mother's sanity? Wouldn't you blame her for the death of her children, because she knew what would happen?

God didn't create the devil! He created Lucifer who was an angel. Lucifer decided to turn evil.

- If God is all-powerful, his angels wouldn't turn evil unless he wants them to.

- If God is just, then even if an angel turns evil (which is impossible, see above) he would lock up tha angel immediately instead of allowing that angel to tempt billions of innocent people to turn evil.

- If God is all-knowing, then he knew that Lucifer was going to turn evil. Yet he still created him? That's evil!

Hell is for those who didn't live according to the bible.

Can you explain how it's fair for your ancestors who never came accross the bible to face everlasting torment?

You do know that earthquakes are being caused by man's way of living.

Thisa is an example of the pseudo-science that pastors spew in their messages. Most earthquakes are natural. My question is this: why does God allow natural disasters if he's not evil and has the power to stop them?

retro: I'm agnostic

You are what you believe, my sister.

Do you remember the September 9-11 event? What if there was someone who could have easily stopped the event from happening, but refused to do so and allowed thousands of people to perish in a violent manner? What if the person said "it's not my business"? Wouldn't you agree that such a person is evil? That person is God, if he exists.

Who's complaining about the speed of windows, really?

I'm going to start my own church, anyway. Stay tuned!

kellybaba, you can use FIxed deposits to prevent your money from depreciating outside Nigeria.

Men and Women are DEFINATELY not equal. Men are supposed to be in charge, they are the head of the family. Men are more powerful. Sure, women are more sensitive and whatnot but you can't compare a man's strenght to that of a woman's.

Your low opinion of womanhood is disgusting. You have been brainwashed.

You cannot be better than what you think women are, so I see you as being an unattractive woman.

If you really want the books, you'll name a price. Think of this as an alternative to Ebay. Cheers!

There is no chess player that throws away a pawn unecessarily, but the key factor is that our lives are dispensable to these people who have power (military power, the power to kill) when something "more important" is at stake. That is what makes us pawns to them. Civilians can be sacrificed for their selfish "greater good".

Can you scan some of your lovely comics and post them here? Thanks so much! Post, post, post!

Tenik, once she learns how to spell, we will be best of friends. You're lovely

The people in power don't care about us, their pawns, regardless of what they say on TV.

Yes, but Anakim couldn't have defeated the emperor. Yoda told Obi-Wan-Kenobi that he can't defeat the emperor but the same kenobi was able to defeat Anakim after a very well-matched fight!

Hmmm, I wonder how you (Nollywood production companies) get the scripts for your movies.

Mace Windu of course. He actually defeated the emperor in a light-sabre battle when Yoda could not.

My email address is on my profile. Good luck!

Leave the sensitive lady to sensitive guys like me. The two of you simply can't be happy together.

Thanks for sharing, kitaun. What about you, Ka?

Kitaun says he works best under pressure. Anyone else? Thanks!

Amen, amen, amen. hot-angel, whirlwind.

_{why is teniks posting in all caps?}

No, all they have is an alternative to Paypal for those who have bank accounts in Nigeria.

I'll treat myself to a bowl of ice-cream and dedicate each blessed spoonful to you guys.

Thanks, thanks, thanks everyone.

We already have a face on the world wide web. Just go to nigeriafirst.org or nairaland.com!

I also want to know more about this leadership academy. Thanks in advance.

I really loved the movie but I can't watch it again. My innocent mind can't take so much senseless violence!

Do I work well under pressure? Hell, no! I absolutely can't stand it.

What do I do when:
- My site is down and people are sending me unreasonable messages?
- I'm owing a supplier some money and I don't know where to get it?
- Someone is being manipulative but I know I still need that person's help?

I collapse! Work-related pressure is like poison to me, so I like to anticipate the future and prepare for it. I don't like being surprised by circumstances, so I am extremely conservative. I don't accept new responsibilities easily.

And unlike some people, I don't find external pressure motivating at all. I prefer to motivate myself internally.

What about you? How productive are you under pressure?
