₦airaland Forum

ibizgirl: For me what baffles me is why come to a forum to seek advice? Don't these people have friends/family who know all the facts about their peculiar situation, why come online to seek advice from people you don't know how well they are handling their own affairs. No matter how difficult a person is there is that 1 person he/she listens to.
When you go seeking advise you take what you see. Like I tell my kids, if I ask you to enter fire will you do that? Advices should be properly examined before they are followed.

Most times it's good to post here for advice.You want to get neutral views about your situation.It's an anonymous forum so nobody really knows you.
Some of the things you want advice on may not be things you want to share with family members for obvious reasons so it's not a bad thing soliciting for advice from strangers.
You just need to separate the wheat from the chaff.

It's a tough one for Nigeria and in fact the continent with this virus.
Everyone just has to be extracareful.

^^^exactly.
You have to show examples so we know which situation you speak about instead of generalising.

caseless: the uniqueness and 'compactness' of d quran shld show u that it was not written by muhammad; no old and new testament, no kjv, no name of his companion was tagged to any verse of d quran, like u have matt 8:10 etc in d bible. Who were these men to jesus?
Bible has bn edited more than 5000 times. Quran has bn original and great; evn clinton, napoleo, churchill and so many great men attested to this fact.

Big deal about the quran remaining the same(which is arguable according to history).The works of Shakespeare has also remained the same.Before the copy that you have was put together,there has been arguments about what was initially written(do your research).I hope you know Muhammed was illiterate and did not write himself.Others wrote,so your argument about the bible being written by men faults your own belief.
You also do not understand that God can use 'many' men for His works.
Finally,how come Muhammed was unspoken of by all the prophets and even Jesus never made mention of him,yet he(as claimed by him) is the greatest and last prophet?How come no book except the quran ever spoke of him?How can the 'last' prophet be unknown by other prophets either in dreams or visions?Doesn't seem right!

Please don't quote scriptures from the bible to me since you claim the bible is not true.Moreover,the scriptures you always quote as muslims never referred to Muhammed.Do a proper check before answering my question.

Op.we can't determine how we come or who we come through in this life.
However,we can pick ourselves up from where we have found ourselves and make the best of our lives.

Your mother gave birth to you but I'm afraid you won't get her to 'mother' you and you have to look beyond her.She's pouring her frustrations on you.It's not your fault she didn't marry your dad and had children for different men.The people who have cared for you are the parents you have.

Now face your future.Get a job and look for ways to improve yourself.Try to acquire new skills so you can earn more income.

caseless: d gospel was fabricated by men; i don't believe in it.

The quran came by Muhammed.He was a man too.

caseless: Only if christains are not worshipping 3 gods; god of the father, and of the son and of the holy spirit...then, i'd say xtains and muslims are worshipping the same God. It is for a fact that God of Adam, Nuhu/Noah Abraham/ibrahim, yunus/jona, enoch/idris, david/dauda, suleiman/solomon, joseph/yusuf, jacob/yakub, musa/moses, luutu/loth, jesus/isah is the God of muhammad(s.a.w) and whose msg muhammad came with.

what fact?what proof do you have for your fact?
You do not know the God Who sent Jesus!Everyone who knows Him believes the gospel.

Hmmm.Ladies need to be quick to see signs of violence in a guy they get involved with.Unfortunately,girls seem to love the bad guys.

The girl could gave been saved if the bleeding had been controlled.
Please everyone,if you see someone bleeding from the arms or legs,put pressure on the area of bleeding with a clean cloth(but please don't expose yourself to the blood).If it doesn't stop the bleeding,make a tourniquet with a belt,or sleeve of a shirt and wrap it around the limb away from the area of bleeding but above it.Make it firm but not too tight to cause further injury.Please do not use a wire or string.
You could help save a life before a doctor arrives.

Really?Please what is destiny sef?

I do agree Israel is not willing to budge and they are indeed heady.
However for the sake of peace,I believe there should be a compromise on both sides.
Isn't there a way to co-exist?

^^^Reality

Madam,if you are the person in question,just relax.

It is possible to have a positive pregnancy(which could be false positive) and even 'feel' symptoms of pregnancy but only a scan can confirm if there is indeed a pregnancy.Just wait a few more days and run another test(blood PT) or a scan to confirm.

Na Ebola go first catch this guy where he run go.
It's a question of time,he'll get caught and face the consequences of his action.
Why do people let evil rule their hearts this way?

You don't have the respect you ought to have in your house.How did you allow it get to this?
You need to be firm henceforth and put your sisters in their place.Unfortunately,your wife is not helping matters.

Dialogue more with your wife rather than just dishing out instructions and don't let your financial situation erode your self-confidence.

*edited
Having read the other story and taking a scrutinising look at the picture,i conclude the story was concocted based on the camera angle of the picture.
It actually seems there's someone beside the pastor that the woman is reaching out to.

Ladystewie: I am wat I am by the grace of God. If u must view dis thread, u most comment

okay,u don see comment now.

Ladystewie: thorpido and olanshi...
appear here before God judges you

who are u?

What did she say in your discussion with her about all you enumerated here?

Naija style abi wetin we go call this one.

kweenkong: I am Yoruba married to an Isoko guy but my family is finding it hard to understand some of there culture despite my in laws being very open and accomodating . My family generally are the closeted type always suspicious of any other tribe apart from yoruba but my in laws are totally different .

I am already cooking there traditional meals and i try very hard to greet them in their dialect with a bit of mine ( the kneeling down part). I fight my people every time to let them understand that they are isokos and not isobos as they call them sometimes . And i see the same on this forum and am like what the f**k is wrong with people and there superiority tribe thingy.

I think it's the Urhobos they call isobos.I don't think your family will change cos they seem deeply rooted in their perception of other tribes.You will have to be very patient and your husband should win them over by showing exemplary character.

Are u one of the tribes going into a marriage with the other?
If I may ask which is your tribe.
Generally in inter-tribal marriages,liberality and acceptability is what matters.How open are the families towards people of other tribes?Education plays a strong role too.Each marriage can be judged only on it's own merit.

The people getting married also matter.You both need to develop a strong support for each other and be willing to integrate into each other's culture.Learn about it and try to be part of it.Also try to learn the language.

Wow.Indeed anything is possible.

beeevan: OP the stuff he told you about doing it to other girls is just an ego boost, he can't do it to anyone.


OP you sef no be here ooooo .

Honestly,this Op no be here at all.

Tell him from the start.Let him make the decision to go ahead or not.

NgeneUkwenu: That is the difference between a Muslim and a Christian!

Can you explain this further?

I think it's more of a northerner compared to a southerner.Yoruba muslims will mourn their dead.There is a way northerners are raised that they have this kind of mindset/perception towards life.

May the light of God continually shine across the world.
'And this is life eternal,that they may know you the Only True God and Jesus Christ Whom Thou has sent'(John 17:3)

NafeesaAA: Alhaji Onyeagocha and Alhaji Ude in Enugu are true Igbo Muslims. There are igbo muslims like there are yoruba muslims, chines muslims, arab muslims, Scottish muslims, french muslims et al. We should be matured in reasoning and arguing. Islam transcends tribes and races and islam is not exclusive to any tribe. Christianity as well is not exclusive to any tribe, the main reason why the igbos anre predominantly christian is due to the missionary works of the 19th and 20th century. There were no active islamic propagation in the igbo land during this era and that is the obvious. 90% of people take the religion of their parents in Nigeria and that is a fact.

So what stops the propagation now?Remember the fruits will convert people more than just mere words.Let the converters bear good fruits.

Jesus said ye err not knowing the scriptures nor the word of God.This man reads the logos but does not receive nor understand the rhema.
Didn't the scriptures show that the old testament was a shadow of things to come?(Col.2:17)

Sometimes pain from a C-section could linger for more than 6weeks.
Just get a doctor to see at a private hospital.

It'll be a shame for someone like Omisore to become a governor in Nigeria.It will just further show the rot in the country.

Those who know Lagbaja will not be surprised by this.He is a man of principles.

dorox: What would people not say to protect there source of income? Look for a job and repent from using God's name to defraud people.

I am not in any way in a position to obtain tithes neither am i involved in the use of church funds.I work with the ministry of health.
Your comment above shows intellectual laziness.You should be more concerned with passing your jamb.

PastorKun: Apart from the fact that there is nowhere in the bible that Isaac is associated with tithes, since when did Abraham, Isaac and Jacob become examples for Christians to follow As Christians we follow christ and nobody else.

Yea we follow Christ.How come Jesus Christ referred to the prophets when he taught the Jews?How come the bible speaks of us being the seeds of Abraham?
Like i said,I won't want to drag this further.Your comments only show holes in your knowledge of scriptures.
