[b][size=16pt]Excuse me!!! "It is very usual and arguably natural". Really? When you say 'Partner' how do you mean? Do you mean, a marriage relationship or a live-in lover i.e. a Common Law relationship or just a 'Hit and run' type of relationship - casual encounter?? I hope your assertion does not include 'Marriage relationships' here and if it does, I wonder how thin your moral beliefs and values are especially, in these dangerous times, HiV AIDS are every where that you chose to live this kind of reckless life? Too bad!! Based on your assertion, yes, most things people do in life might be natural but, does in mean they are all right? For example, 419, corruption/embezzlement, murder, stealing, prostitution, incests etc you name them - you'd see they are all natural and not right and based on your values you have a 'flat rate' for them all 'Any thing goes' because, your moral values are below par. Remember, whatever you do in your youth/life will be accounted for - so keep riding on!!! [/size][/b] |
[b][size=16pt]With this kind of thing, it seems any thing goes in this family. This behaviour only portrays lack of fear of God and zero values in this family. Based on my Scripture, the body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit and not for pagan designs and practices. Besides, it is child abuse - marking a child's body for popular culture! How could that be regarded as a mother's love. Yes, tattoos are popular but, only for adults and not for children. It is at this juncture that I query the values of this woman. In my view, it could be she's confused in her mind what her role as a mother really is - or should I say, she lack confidence in herself and thus, misunderstood the meaning of motherly love for her children, which is in contrast with what the Bible says, 'not to spare the rod and spoil the child' and she is doing exactly just that. However, it seems to me, she's un-aware of the implications of what she has done - in trying to portray herself as a caring and loving mother - Naaa, you got it wrong, mummy! Well, when the repercaution finally hit you - remember to take it lying quietly. [/size][/b] |
[size=16pt]It is an eye sore! Those roads are disgraceful![/size] |
[size=16pt]Because, Nigerians are aggressive people, can't you see that? Men and women alike are aggressive and intimidating - aren't you aware of this fact? Then look deep, you will notice - it's in the blood!!! [/size] |
[size=16pt]No, the problem is your culture! Your girls are so so desperate and that's the reason. A culture that puts pressure on their sons/daughters particularly, their daughters to get married and quick, is sick! Until that is addressed in families and society at large, you will continue to have these butterflies perching from one flower to another without a firm base. They will only stop and review their lives once white hairs starts covering their heads and by then, their age mates are becoming grandfathers - better believe it! These lots don't learn in life but tends to blame others for their errors when they finally, wake up to it! A fool at 40 they say, is fool forever! [/size] |
[size=16pt]Well, done Papa! There will be peace at home if they all are helping as you are. After all, it's your baby - your own blood so, what's in it to be ashamed of? .[/size] |
Area_boy: No, you do something about it. Not fold your arms and hope it miraculously gets quenched and rebuilds itself. That mentality you have is the same one our politicians have that means no way forward.[size=16pt]Well, here wey I dey in diaspora, when HOME catch FIRE - nobe me dey quencham - na Fire Brigade o o! Ok! So, if you wait for me to quench the Fire wey Nigerian Politicians started, you go wait forever, ok! Yes, I dey for diaspora dey thank God for the blessing he's given me and you're there hassling me for glorifying God for his mercy and kindness towards me? Na lie for you! Everyone has their own blessings even the victims of this atrocious wickedness. Well, my Bible taught me that, in every situation, glorify God Almighty and I have just done that - so what's the heck? [/size] |
[b][size=16pt]Well, people have made various quality contributions here my own take is, have you checked your loyalties with respective members of your family, on highly important family issues? Also, check your dis-respectfulness of your elder siblings? ![]() Because, some siblings tends to overtly lean towards their favourite brother/sister thus, forgot that the others are part and parcel of him/her. They fail to recognise that, if anything happens to their favourite, the other siblings would be there to give him/her support or might not, based on his/her attitudes towards them e.g. knowing that his/her favourite is wrong on a family issue and dogmatically took sides against the other can put a gulf in his relationship with the other of his/her siblings. This is exactly what is happening in our family today, with our youngest who had always supported our elderst in his selfish and wicked attitudes towards his juniors. Now, both of our parents are dead and gone, he is left on the lurch as he suddenly discovered that he's now a victim of our eldest jealousy and selfishness. Since our parents passing, he's now focusing entirely on his children and wife. In situation as this, it is always good to be diplomatic with family issues instead of taking sides. Rather be neutral in family issues, and call a spade a spade than take sides - it can backfire when your siblings percieve your behaviour in a negative light and gang up on you, you will feel like a deserted grave yard (cold and lonely), honest and take note! [/size][/b] |
[size=16pt]Is this the HOME, they say diasporians should return to? Is it? These bullet holes? Naaaaaaah!! Thank you eversomuch! I love my life here in diaspora at least, I could wake up each morning, take a fresh breath of air without fears and say Lord, thank you for the gift of life and blessings you'd showered on me! Again, if this is what coming HOME is all about I say, thanks - no thanks for the offer. I rather die in diaspora than a HOME on fire!!! After all, the Bible told us that Jacob died in diaspora in Egypt and his body was eventually taken home. If your HOME is on fire, you might as well stay out until is quenched and rebuilt before going HOME and that could take quite some time. Therefore, I think, Jacobs experience could be an option for some of us, I don't know about you but all I know is that, HOME is no longer worthy of being called HOME any more - the new name should be FIRE, FIRE!! |
[size=16pt]Rather single and lonely than embracing 'perpetual unhappiness ' in the name of having an incompatible someone as husband, wife, partner. Naaaah!! After all, there won't be marriage in heaven when we get there so, what would I loose if I didn't get a husband, wife or partner down here on earth, eh?? [/size] |
[size=16pt]It is possible. It can work if both of your truly love each other and are prepared to put-in 110% effort to make it work and that calls for tolerance of each others chronic pitfalls as well as ignoring insinuations and gossips of the in-laws and friends. Focus on your happiness together - that way you will win.[/size] |
[size=16pt]Now, tell me how many homes/families in the world are unbroken? Even your own family that seems intact and at peace from general family discords, still has some dis-functionalities in it. So, there is no such thing as 100% perfect family. Every unbroken family,is somehow broken and we just have look deep to find them!!! If you love a girl/boy just go ahead and marry them and stop wasting time worrying, about irrelevancies [/size] |
[size=16pt]But, how did they manage their mobility before the emergent of Okadas, in Lagos? Abi, didn't they use to walk, ride bicycle, catch taxi or Molue to their respective locations? And what's the difference, now Okada has been banned? Could it be that the roads had got longer and the distances between locations increased over-night e.g. the distance from Apapa to Ikeja - has it increased since the Okada ban? These are queries they have to answer in order to appreciate the govt. plan for Lagos. [/size] |
[size=16pt]Yes, the list of what works in marriage can go on, ok! It doesn't work for all and that's reality![/size] |
[size=16pt]Bunkum! As if one glove fits all![/size] |
fankasibe: i'm a muslim and i had being in spirit once, i felt i coundn't breath and couldn't open my eyez at will.....making it easy to hear His Message. Being in d spirit has nothing to do with ur religion, its a spiritual priviledge by God.[size=16pt]Child of God, you're absolutely right! Nothing to do with Religion rather a lot to do with Faith and Trust in the Most High God, in Heaven! [/size] |
[b][size=16pt]Again, Marriage is not compulsory - it is a choice! And when people are in it and not happy, and have tried everything to 'keep it together' and it's still leaking - I believe it is time to call it a quit. One can not because of children or loneliness etc sabotage his/her happiness/health and remain in a stressful relationship because, if unhappiness didn't kill you then, the stress would - does it really worth it? Alternatively, if your children's well-being, over-rides everything in your life then, wait until your baby leaves home and recover your happiness - that's my take! To me, being happy with someone I love and care about, is incontestable to the emotional pain some people experience from an unhappy marriage. After all, who can guarantee that the children you are sacrificing your happiness for, will be there for you at old age? Beside, once they grow and leave home, you are on your own, abi! If anyone is in doubt, may I ask, how many of us are with our parents sitting in the lounge discussing family issues or having family dinner, right now? Have we imagined, how much our parents misses us, right now? And, what have we done to ensure our physical presence with them, all the time? It is tough, isn't it? There you go!!!!! Obviously, some in towns and cities around Nigeria as well as those in diaspora hadn't been able to see their parents for years, abi! Yet, they are the children you sacrificed all your happiness and pleasure for. I know of some parents who moan on their children about this. And to avoid much regrets in life, I suggest people should always try and balance such situation, so that no one completely looses out and then, becomes so embittered, in later life for the sacrifices they made in marriage. After all, in the end such sacrifices would not be recognised because, at resurrection, when we all have lived and left this life - there would be no MARRIAGE, no CHILDREN, no MOTHER, no BROTHER, no SISTER, no GRANDMA, no GRANDAD, no WIFE, no HUSBAND and certainly no FATHER except - our Lord Jesus Christ and the Most High God in HEAVEN because, my Scriptures tells me that - we believers who obeyed God's Will and Commands, will become Angels of God in Heaven at RESURRECTION (Mark Chpt. 12 v. 18) So, where does this leave this our earthly marriage that seems to be compulsory? Who would care about it, then? No wonder, God did not consider it compulsory for his children - he would have made it the 11th Commandment,abi? .Therefore, marriage is a choice people make and to have children is also a choice - either do it or leave it after all, God himself had only 'One Son - Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Saviour' and why must we then, have more than one child ourselves, if not our greediness! You see, it's only domineering and pushy people, wanting their ways that instigates and pile up pressure on individuals to marry and to remain in a marriage they are not happy about for the sake of the above points listed by the writer - no one should put you under such pressure if you are not ready, don't do it, my dear! I understand people talking about temptations of the flesh and such - yes, one can overcome that by making God and his words first in your live as that would help you keep out of trouble, until you are ready. But, where you are not ready it is not life threatening, is it? Again, Marriage and Children are not compulsory they are choice and certainly, not life threatening - one can live without them! [/size][/b] |
[size=16pt]How wicked! Signing a death warrant of another human being because, he incapable of dealing with complex situations and thus, tag - "Unmanageable" Really! How unmanageable, tell us? What an inept manager!!! Instead of owning up to his lack of managerial skills he blames it as - 'unmanageable' You will answer one day! If this guy does not know how to manage complex situations in his State - wouldn't be wise of him to back off and let those who understand how, deal with it than taking a cheap and cruel option to destroy 'innocent lives'. Yes, they are innocent - judging from Nigerian Legal system, those prisoners are innocent and their blood will be crying out to God. To this Oshiomhole, this is the only option? Is this the best he could do? How dump a brain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/size] |
[size=16pt]Well, if you trust him with your finances then do it otherwise, KEEP YOUR OWN! Only women without income of their own would want to attach themselves to his/joint Account because, they know they'd got nothing to loose - should he start frittering it away on secret adventures, as many have done before him! Watch your own pennies, I should suggest![/size] |
[size=16pt]How silly? Goes to show they are worldly people, and have no God in their lives - what's more important/matters to them, is material wealth. I can see that they are on their way to 'hell' because, there's no way a demonic possessed person will enter 'Heaven' - only 'Purity' goes in there. They are on their way to the 'Broad Road and not the Narrow Road' Too bad, for them! Luke Chpt.13 v. 21 - 29 NIV [/size] |
try69: from the way u talk, I can deduce how u think.. PATHETIC[size=16pt]You see, darkness fears the light! And the light is the truth because, light exposes evil. The Bible is the truth! The truth is in your Bible and you know it's there yet, you chose to glorify popular culture at the expense of your salvation. Beside, Hollywood was so good at this behaviour in the 70's, 80's and 90's and now, have got sense. Many of them are no longer going after older girls anymore - why? You tell me! If such is a good life, why are actors like Michael Douglas, Brad Pitt, Sylvester Stallone, Shaun Penn etc settled this time round with younger birds? Clever d i c k, please answer that. Keep to your popular culture, ok! Your choice - on that day we will all give account - won't we? [/size] |
[b][size=16pt]It is not important to God about what we wear to Church. To me, this is similar to what happened to Jesus and his disciples when they were having dinner at a certain Pharisee's house about a ceremonial washing of hands before eating the meal - washing the outside of the cup when the inside is still dirty? So, it doesn't matter one bit to God. What is important to him is, he made man/woman to worship and praise him all the time and obey his commands and we must do so - that is more than important to him than your trousers you wear to Church, However, it's important that the way you dress, does not make you become a 'strange fire' in the Church where by you take the Congregations attention away from God - that is sin, my dear. Therefore, dress conservatively and not provocatively so that you do not attract the attention of worshippers from their focus in the Church - God! Be warned about becoming a 'strange Fire' in the Church!!!! [/size][/b] |
[b][size=16pt]No thanks! It's like jumping into bed with your baby brother, would you or are you that dis-functioned? This is a device of the devil - it isn't Gods Will that man should date/marry his mother - a woman older than him. Check your Bible and see Gods 'Plan and Will' for man e.g. Adam was before Eve. ![]() Abraham was before Sarah. Issac was before Rebecca. Jacob (Israel) was before Rachel, Leah and their maids, abi? This evil behaviour of younger men going after their mothers age or should I say older women of sort, stemmed from the wicked behaviour of the first son of Jacob - Reuben comes to mind, plus others I can not now remember where in Bible - but they are all there if you read your Bible well! You can see Reuben was cursed by his father and God was not kind with that! By sleeping with one of his father's maid-wives in his father's matrimonial bed - now, tell me how that is Godly and God's will? It is all the hallmarks of Satan - to cause confusion, division and chaos in the home through the weakest link - weak members of the family (every family has got one!). So, child of God please, follow Gods Will that it may go well with you and stop following popular culture! |
[size=16pt]Why should Christians fight to defend their God? You see, Christians serve a Living God. The Most High God! God Almighty is his Name - He made the Heavens, the Earth, the Sea and everything in them - nothing, I say nothing is impossible for him. You see, he is not a man that he should lie and he is a God that fullfills all his promises. Our God is a God that answers by Fire and he fights his own battles and wins them - victory is always his therefore, unlike other religions, he is not a weakling that depends on his children's strength/power to glorify himself! All those who messed with his Holy Name, unless they confess their sins and ask for forgiveness - I am very, very sorry for for their lives. I prophesy, pain and suffering in every aspect of their lives and you would be the first to cry out for God's mercy on their lives. So, this is what kept Christian Faith apart from other religions - ours is a Living God! [/size] |
k2039: [color=#FF0099] [size=15pt][size=16pt]Absolutely! May God bless you! Why would I respect a husband that is not 100% committed to me in marriage? A husband that shares my body/property with dirty stinkers, out there! Na lie for him!![/size] |
[size=16pt]And, 30% of Nigeria men also, fathered countless children out of wedlock - have you considered that, too? [/size] |
[b][size=16pt]So o o o o? You got to start somewhere, won't you? But show me, among the past and present Head of States - one that was born with the role in his 'HANDS'? Its all about learning. It's all about on the job training and Networking - connecting with the right guys with the experience - that's how they all learnt and he's no different. Therefore, there won't be any difference with the one coming after him - shall we watch this space? I suggest you reflect and see what happened in the past - President Regan was an Actor - he learnt on the job, Margaret Thatcher was a teacher - she showed power, na lie? John Major was a Banker - he did the best he can. Tony Blair was a Barrister - didn't we all see his own show in the Uk and Iraq? And now, Cameron was just an MP and we're watching his.So, give Jonathan - a break, paddy! As you can see, from all these examples, its a job you learn as you go and he hasn't done differently so, what's your argument?[/size][/b] |
[size=16pt]A very good lesson for all wife batterers - weak men!! They lack confidence and think they can exerct control by intimidation and battery. Well done boy for rescuing your mother! If he had killed her in that rage who would care for him and his siblings? The guy would have been the first to run off and replace the woman like a flash leaving the children to suffer. Good for defending your mother and I'm sure the likes of him have learnt from his tragedy. [/size] |
[size=16pt]This picture signifies nothing but wickedness of heart. Yes, I support divorce if you're not happy in a marriage that is strangling you and there's nothing left for both of you to salvage in the marriage. However, it shouldn't end in this tragic way - where you endanger each others life. And, before you go into that evil rage of yours why not at least remember, the good times you had together in the marriage. [/size] |
[size=16pt]What a State of fear and intimidation? Who wants to live in a State like this? Lack of security every where. Imagine, everyone is living in fear in their own State and Homeland when people in diaspora are living peacefully and walking freely without fears or intimidation! What a hellish place called, HOME!!!! Rather die in diaspora than return to that hell-hole, where people are targeted for working hard for themselves, family and community. Missing Home? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! How could anyone miss death from armed robbers and assassins with machine guns? Do you ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ? [/size] |
[b][size=16pt]The only man of God I know and I trust his Prophesy, is Prophet T B Joshua. He not only prophesy into your life but, has the Anointing that breaks the yoke in your life and resolves all the issues including members of you family. To me that's a true Prophet of God - He says it and there you have the complete package - Healing, Deliverance and Restoration plus abundance Blessing! What else, do you need? Therefore, until another Prophet with greater Anointing than that of Prophet T B Joshua's powerful Anointing emerges then, I will begin to listen to those stories about modern day Prophets - until then, chew on this to realise what the Scripture taught us on how to know a true prophet of God. In Deuteronomy it says, You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?" "If what a Prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That Prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him." (Deuteronomy Chpt. 18 v.21 - 22. NIV) As you can see, that's the standard with which to measure them. I have had so many Prophesy from men that claimed they are Prophets that never manifested therefore, the one I know is the one I trust. [/size][/b] |
[size=16pt]Again!!! We've been here before, abi? How many time would this Tithing issue be raised here? Look people, it's either you do it, or you don't, ok! So, stop disturbing people with this issue, if your conscience is ruffled about it then, you should no you're doing something wrong! Stop gauging our opinions on this and wasting our time because we've given opinions on this matter in the past and if you're not aware of this just: type in the search Engine above - Tithing and see what would pull out for you, ok! [/size] |
