@texasspete
y do Nigerians love trivialities?
Im sure God Himself when he read tht post didnt notice the small 'g', it was just an oversight!!!

@topten
the simple answer to ur type of thinking is, the bible is (at least supposd to be) congruent in its sayings thruought. So how do i selectively believe a book which is congruent in its sayings thruought? thts inviting confusion, i cant do tht without contradicitng myself, its either i dont believe the bible at all or i believe everything.

The fact tht should be contested is whether the bible's teachings are congruent with each other, and opinions differ, its subjective

@richyblack
Once again, as is usual in such threads u come across people with interesting logic


'Our Lord Jesus Christ, did not believe in some parts of the Bible because they were written after he died and resurrected'-- listen to urself!!!!!!!
xctly what does tht mean
Xcept ure joking sha

if i employ my girlfriend i would want to have sex with her all the time , and tht wont be good 4 busines, will it?

I'm standing here looking in the mirror saying damn to myself
I should have known the day would come that she would find somebody
else
And all the things I took here through ---- I shouldn't have lasted
this long
Now I'm at this telephone booth calling Tyrone
Chorus:
'Cause when a woman's fed up (no matter how you beg no)
There ain't nothing you can do about it (nothing you can do about it)
It's like running out of luck (no matter what you say no)
Then it's too late to talk about it (too late to talk about it)
Now let's talk about how it all goes down
I used to make love to you daily when the night fell the same
And anytime that you were hurt I could feel your pain
And if I had a dollar it was yours yeah and whenever we would go out
I would front the bill but now the up is down and the silence is sound
I hurt you too too many times now I can't come around
Chorus
La da da da da la la da da
La da da da da la la da da
If you don't want to find out the hard way
Then listen to this song while the record plays
Chorus
You can cry a river til an ocean starts to flow yeah
But she will always remember 'cause she's a woman scorned
And if you ever get her back it will never be the same
She's cuttin' the corners of her eyes every time she sees your face
Now your trust is out the door she don't want you no more
You used to tell your boys not me and she will always be there for you
If you took the time to see what that woman meant to you
Is what the mirror said to me
She was raised in Illinois right outside Chicago
Some of the best cooking you ever had yes it was and I miss her
Hey woman if you're listening I said I miss you baby

y dont u want him to chek u out if u havnt got sumthgn to h

Hmmmmmm, (shakes his head) and wonders why only muslims are allowed to have fundamentals who go around killing people who insult their religion.

Where are all the :
Xtian
Budhist
Sango
Jehovah Witness
Eckankar
Shinto
fundamentalist!!!!!!

Why dont they go around killing people??

The only logical conclusion is that there is something in Islam which promotes (or at best) seems to condone senseless killings and wanton violence

I have nothing against muslims o, i believe in religious freedom; but happenings like these make muslims a nuiscance to say the least. Who the hell is safe? What if my muslim fundamenatlist neighbour reads this blog and decides ive blasphemed then it means my life is in danger?

Igbos should stop being unecesarily sensitive. Yahooyahoo offenders tend to be igbo. A profile of a Nigerian scammer would titl towards an Igbo guy. Nobody's bashing igbos, we're just staing an obvious fact and we're not saying ALL yahooyahoo guys are Igbos.

I think 'liberal muslims' insult our intelligence when they ascribe these atrocious doings to a small sect of illiterate fundamentalists. Are there no fundamentalist xtians?, y dont they go aroud killing people!!! The truth is Islam condones violence, lets call a spade a spade!
If Islamists want us non-muslims to believe that islam is peaceful, then strong actions should be taken by them to stem the unbridled violence that is meted out non-muyslims.

Personally i think muslims are just intimidated by the inconsistencies in their theology.
Has any1 seen southpark The xtian God and Jesus Xrist are blaphemed against everyday! evn here in Nairaland by all sorts of people. Nobody getys hurt, nobody gets killed

At the best, muslims should explain to us y their religion breeds such violent tendencies in their fundamentalists

hey seun y the sarcasm?,
i wonder how much money ure making from nairaland

omo i bow 4 u guys o

thank God, i had started to seriously hold a grudge against Celtel

Bankole01:
good one folem, 'Moremi' Igbo masqurade indeed!. What you have just told preposterous tale.

theres actually an old fable about moremi getting lost in a great forest (igbo) for weeks and then stumbling across a race of people who keep her captive because of her beauty. The igbos had been raiding yoruba farmlands for years masquerading as masquerades?? Years after, she manages to discover their secret and returns to yorubaland. the yoruba farmers where then able to repel the next attack of masquerades.

This fable probably refers to a very old chance meeting with a race of people living beyond the forests to the east (igbos). It is probable that hunters ventured too deep in the forests and emerged in areas close to present day delta state, outskirts of igbo land and culture

the narrative is also a little simplistic, the writer obviously is unaware of the complex political intrigues that led to the war between afonja of ilorin and the alaafin. i suggest 'a history of the yorubas' by samuel johnson (an ex yoruba slave who live din the 19th century), its the last authority on yoruba history

@dblock
i never said the hausas were superior,  i said they FELT superior, and the fact that they were more developed (due to arabic influence) reinforced the feelings of superiority and thts y they refered to the people in the south as 'Yoruba', thugs of the south, or 'our uncouth neighbours to the south',

@ wesleyan A

informative writeup, but your sourceascribed blame of the slave trade to the yorubas,  thats a classical case of the whiteman rewriting history. True, yoruba warlords sold off warcaptives to whitemen as slaves, they also could be quite cruel and inhuman in their feelings to their captives, but the yoruba concept of slavery was a million times more human than the western idea of slavery. most of these warlords had absolutely no idea what horrible fates lay in store for the slaves they sold,

Due to harsh economic realities; winches are quite expensive. to rentawinch 4 30mins u'll need about a million naira and for special duties like flying which is dangerous to their health, u'll need about 5million/hour. As the agent i collect 10% of all the monies that exchange hands.

the term 'Yoruba' or the bastardisation yoruba means 'thugs of the south'. it was the term used by the Hausa's of the north who felt culturally superior to the ancient yorubas. they had good reason to feel superior, their culture had significantly been influenced by Arabs who were millions of miles ahead of africans in terms of develoment. Also, islam sort of taught hausa's to look down on all non muslims as inferior infidels


the yorubas didnt regard themselves as a unit and so had no name to refer to themselves as a group. they recognised a common ancestor though; and refered to themselves as omo oduduwa or children of oduduwa.

speed isnt really an issue in soccer, no matter how fast u are u gotta hav skills. Soccer is spiritual and i dont expect a troll to understand it.
American football sucks,

soccer is not necessarily bw nations, leagues exist in almost all countries in the world including the u.s.a even tho i must admit american league soccer is boring. theres just something about the american spirit tht does not flow with soccer. Americans cant understand wtching a game for 90mins and recording a score of 2 or 3. Tht explains y most americans ive met are daft!

ive noticed the hypocrites are the most eager to cast the first stone.

no , i dont think we should have american judges, but any1 but DEDE!!, he stinks!!

im a xtian and i believe in speaking in tongues but i must confess i do not understand exactly how its supposed to work, the Bible implied in #acts that the early xtian where speaking in other tongues i.e other languages, not random gibberish. how can u reconcile tht with what is witnessed in most pentecostals these days, i'm not sure,,,,,

im watching it rite now at work, most pips havnt got much work done 2day, im sort of dissapointed at the judges tho.
Dan's ok, the Ghaniann chick stinks but i can still manage her, he whom i cant stand is DEDE!!!!!!
WHAT!!?
who the hell does he think he is?, what has he acheived in the music world??! what gives him the right to diss people about music!!!!!

the unmaried xtian isnt supposed to be having sex anyways, so he/she shldnt be using a condom. however, the bible has nothing against condom use in a marriage.

hey yemi
