Christianity EtcCatholics World Youth Day 2016 (2) by shumax(op): 8:25am On Aug 13, 2016
For Many of you who didnt go to world youth or follow it, the following was the highpoint of the great event for me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY42Xb1P5eQ

and the following were a few of my best quotes from

1.That is our real “stature”, our spiritual identity: we are God’s beloved children, always. So you can see that not to accept ourselves, to live glumly, to be negative, means not to recognize our deepest identity
2.In his eyes the clothes you wear or the kind of cell phone you use are of absolutely no concern. He doesn’t care whether you are stylish or not; he cares about you! In his eyes, you are precious, and your value is inestimable.
3.The fact is, he loves us even more than we love ourselves. He believes in us even more than we believe in ourselves. He is always “cheering us on”; he is our biggest fan

The Drummer Boy by Cyprian Ekwensi.

I owned a copy of this book and I saw Kokoro everyday in traffic, yet it didn't occur to me that the book was about him (until just before his death).

EventsRe: Is This The Difference Between An Igbo Party And A Yoruba Party? by shumax: 4:45pm On Jul 01, 2016
I am a northerner but Lagos Born and bred so I am going to try my best to be unbiased the Igbos traditionally honour events and people by giving and thats why infact it is often said an Igbo man recovers almost everything he spends in an event by the end of the event, I agree Igbos arent really good at mixing up at their parties every click sticks with their own, Yoruba's on the other hand honour events by a show of solidarity,the host of this events reciprocate by being good host making show their guest are taken good care of, In most cases Igbos dont go to events to be entertained or fed they to go to give and show effizy while yoruba's go to event to celebrate and in turn be taken care of. In General I feel safer with the Yorubas.

The post was poorly written joor, first of all teebillz isnt Tiwa's ex they are still married and secondly what do they mean by "a cousin to the last daughter of General Ibrahim Babangida, Halima Babangida." All Gen Babangida's kids have same mother so how come Halima has a cousin that isnt Aisha, Mohmammed and Aminu's Cousin.

TV/MoviesRe: Do You Know This Classic Nigerian Sitcom? by shumax: 9:43am On May 02, 2016
quite impressive the acting is better than we see this days
naptu2:
1) Basi

2) Zulu Adigwe (I didn't quite get used to him. I always preferred the person that acted that role before him. He didn't quite get the Mr B walk).

3) Albert Egbe (I first saw him in Jagua Nana's daughter in 1987. He acted alongside Richard Mofe-Damijo and Chinua Achebe's daughter. That was also the first time that I saw Richard Mofe Damijo [he was credited as Evans Mofe Damijo).

4) Basi And Company (8pm on NTA Network from c1988-1990).

5) It was written by Ken Saro Wiwa. He later published a couple of books that were based on the sitcom (I still have one of them). There were many clues within the sitcom that he was the one that wrote it. The most popular beer at Dandy's bar was called Saros Beer and I think there was an episode that featured a bank called Saros Bank.


Mildred Iweka was (of course) my favourite Segi.


Basi And Company (The Transistor Radio).

Christianity EtcRe: Why I May Have To Leave The Catholic Church by shumax: 11:47am On Apr 09, 2016
Thank you very much. Like i said i have done almost all you said up there but still feel worthless before God. How much do i have to try to attain God's perfect standard? When do we know we have pleased God enough? Going for confession every three weeks? praying the rosary 24/7? i think not! because if it were so the guilt that comes with sin should be decreasing already not increasing

Since the bible is the only authority catholics and non-catholics respect, i would like you to cite from it to support what you know. Can you?
I am sorry you still feel guilt after confession, that would come most likely from the fact that you are not sure you have trully repented of that sin, the catholic church knows we are humans and have weakness but at the time of confession you must be trully sorry for your since and make a firm resolution to not sin again, I dont know your exact challenge but they are many materials on the catholic faith online, you cant miss them. but if you have decided to change just be sure it is sincere not just sentimental or emotional. God help You.
Christianity EtcRe: Pope’s New Guidelines On Love, Sex And Marriage by shumax: 11:36am On Apr 09, 2016
Fran6ik:
Christian religion is a religion of peace.. Do u call it marriage wen ur parents donot support it? Your fada did not hand u over nd u claim to be married? Sorry o.. the catholic church does not fight d culture of d people.. remember he didnt just speak to Nigerians but the whole human race
Yes, tha catholic church does not fight culture of people but rejects any culture that goes against teaching of Christ as the church understands it, and for your information in catholic marriage a Father doesn't hand his daughter over, thats a protestant ideology, in the catholic church the girl gives herself freely to her husband and vice versa. Know Your catechism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Christianity EtcRe: Why I May Have To Leave The Catholic Church by shumax: 11:13am On Jan 04, 2016
Someone once said, i cant remember where i got it from that if we depended on the parishioners we meet in church we would never be good Catholics, but the beautiful thing about the church is that it's 2000 years history has provided resources that can help develop and strengthen us, Please before you leave take a few weeks out to read the catechism, they are so many information online about how to live the christian life as a catholic, start by studying how to understand and appreciate the sacraments from there you would discover other resources to help you grow.
About 10 years ago i was in a similar state like you, maybe i didn't do most of the naughty things you've mentioned, but i had a few sins i was dealing with, i was in the university then too, i visted a few churches considered changing too but i also discovered a strong catholic spiritual advise, i was encouraged to attend mass regularly go to confession often it would surprise you I even went to confession at least 3 times a week Prayed the rosary often read the scriptures in the light of the church. You wont believe I overcame all those sins, i am no saint and i got my little fault here and there, but i largely by the help of God's grace in the sacrament overcame.
I had a big challenge because i loved and enjoyed the fellowship and the fun in Pentecostal settings but the moment i fully understood what happens in the mass, i wasn't giving it up for anything
Please don't give up on the church.
How do I get through to you
