Though this is a digression but it was Yoruba films that laid the foundation of Nollywood before the branding talking about the Herbert ogundes,the Baba salas, the Adeloves,the popular Igbo irumole that Igodo copied and so on.

Christianity EtcRe: An Experience At Pastor Chris Okotie’s Church In Lagos by Toks2008(m): 12:36am On Jan 03, 2014
IDOLATRY, a subconscious norm in churches today.

I decide to share this article with you all to express MY OPINION about a gross abnormality that has permeated so deep into our churches today to the extent that Christians who worship in such churches have been totally enmeshed in this act and rather than see it as sinful,they will rather go all the way to defend their blasphemous acts or utterances.

Now we will take a case study from Christ embassy.

Just to set the records straight,before I continue, I would like you all to realize that I have absolutely nothing against Pastor Chris who is the general overseer and infact he is a man I respect so much and his teachings have really opened my eyes to my stands with Christ.

I also want you all to realize that I actually became a member of Christ embassy far back in 2001 and I was not just a member but an active PCF(Pastoral care fellowship) member under the name Haven. I actually was a member until 2010 when I moved away from the location and unfortunately where I relocated to is far from the mega churches so I had to worship with any nearby church.

SUBCONSCIOUS IDOLATRY

-I have always wondered why pastor Chris' picture is usually made so bold on the Frames that is usually placed in most of their branches . I kept wondering if it was done that way to make people see clearly that it is Chris oyakhilome’s church or maybe he is so cute that it will be just nice to display his frame or maybe for any other reasons but believe me, I think it is over blown.

- You need to see how members scream when Pastor Chris shows up in some gatherings and sometimes one tend to wonder if there is more to it. This also to many is normal but I think its also blown out of proportion.

-Have you wondered why many guys in Christ embassy suddenly developed the habit of wanting to dress, talk, act like pastor Chris? Honestly it blows my mind that even some of their pastors will even curl up their hair(I have nothing against curling of hair) just to take up Pastor Chris looks. You may say this does not matter but i believe its a sign of idolatry.

-Today I saw a face book post by one of the members of the church I presume, felicitating with Pastor Chris on his birthday and she used these words
“A great gift I celebrate” referring to Pastor Chris.

After seeing this, I made my opinion known by responding to the post writing ”In my opinion, Jesus is the only gift from GOD worth celebrating but you can appreciate and respect your pastor”

You all only need to imagine how furious she got and got so defensive that she sent a very funny reply to that which I don’t want to go into.

I simply wondered if she is just ignorant of those words “a great gift I celebrate” or maybe she was trying to show her sense of discipleship or maybe she is simply showing so much attachment to this innocent man I really don’t know but in my opinion, that was stark idolatry.

According to the various meanings of celebrate, we will discover that you can’t really celebrate a person but you can celebrate with someone who is said to be a celebrant who is also celebrating an event together with you. Events are meant to be celebrated And if we must celebrate an entity, i strongly believe that only the trinity is worth celebrating and no human must be celebrated in anyway but rather we celebrate with a human.

The Merriam-Webster Online dictionary gave another definition to the word celebrate as “to praise” so paraphrasing her exact words, she is simply saying
“A great gift I PRAISE” This is no doubt idolatry and she might just be so oblivious of this fact.

Though I used Christ embassy as a case study but this act of subconscious idolatry is prevalent in most of our churches with members believing in stickers that has the pastors face, putting the picture of their pastor in their rooms and so on and unfortunately these members are totally unaware of this act and this is why I tagged it “Subconscious idolatry” and should be stopped.

JEHOVAH IS STILL A JEALOUS GOD.

I know this year will be a great year for me and all my fellow nairalanders by God's grace.
I can't believe this is happening to me, I just woke up to see this good news that this topic made FP and I'm the pace setter.
Good news will never depart from everyone of us.

So @ topic, I really don't think I give much damn. Stay away from illegal yanshing, it's 2014 for God sake. But if konji holds you, use protection rubber. Stop digging your own grave by engaging yourself in all these withdrawal methods, AIDS is real and STDs are real.

Thanks everyone for taking out of your precious time to read this, may God bless you all. I here by drop the mic..
Well said. But UNFORTUNATELY, CONDOMS DO NOT PREVENT HIV. Did you all read that? USING CONDOM IS NO GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL NOT BE INFECTED WITH HIV

Now get this

1. Condom don't cover all the penile shaft.

2. no matter how careful, the woman's virginal fluid must always come in contact with the exposed penile shaft in one way or the other.

3. HIV virus are present in the virginal fluid too so coming in contact with penile skin is a good way of infecting the man with the virus and most times, we have minute abrasions on the penile shaft which is also a viable way of facilitating the Viral passage.

4. The man can also pass the virus to the woman if there are abrasions on the penile shaft and the uncovered region comes in contact with the walls of the virginal.

Faith fullness to one hiv free partner is the only guaranteed way of avoiding stds and i hope the std free individual will not go out and bring one home.

PoliticsRe: APC Drops Buhari & Picks Tambuwal As Presidential Candidate? by Toks2008(m): 5:33pm On Dec 31, 2013
In United states, we saw a case where sentimental voting brought Obama in. Americans were tired of terrorism which was quite synonymous with the Republicans so they had to vote a democrat in irrespective of his background.

Same case occurred in Nigeria where we voted Jonathan in based on sentiments as regards not wanting any former military personnel in power irrespective of whether Jonathan has a good record or not or whether he was a PDP nominee..

I see another sentimental voting coming up in 2015 where Nigerians will vote in ACP en-mass, not because we are sure they will perform but because we are tired of the madness of PDP.

just show her real love and care with enough shagging and you will not believe how clingy and devoted she will be.Money is never a priority.

An igbo guy once told me that he is proud of Yoruba ladies because they are so devoted and will never see money as a priority over love, Very tolerant and enduring.

I guess its as a result if the culture they have imbibed. Bride price are returned because our parents place no value on money and they also believe their daughters are worth more than silver and gold.

[quote author=Duke_Nija]The truth is as long as the Father gave out his daughter to the Groom, their marriage is acceptable before God and man. Bride price is not a must, its just customary.[/quote]Lets get this straight.The fact that you have not paid a bride price does not rule out the fact that you are married if the father and mother consents to your marriage or if you opt for legal wedding.

Bride price is customary and its a tradition that gives respect to the lady. I will like to say again that tradition is the opium of the people hence the need to practice such.

Validated: However, you spend more in Aso Oke, Party, bride mother and family dressing, etc. At the end, it is just flash!
This is because yorubas follow the Abrahamic culture that does not lay any emphasis on monetary bride price but expensive gifts.

Genesis 24:52 "When Abraham’s servant heard what they said, he bowed down to the ground before the Lord. 53 Then the servant brought out gold and silver jewelry and articles of clothing and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave costly gifts to her brother and to her mother. 54 Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank and spent the night there"

57 Then they said, “Let’s call the young woman and ask her about it.” 58 So they called Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man?”

“I will go,” she said.

59 So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham’s servant and his men. 60 And they blessed Rebekah and said to her,

“Our sister, may you increase
to thousands upon thousands;
may your offspring possess
the cities of their enemies.”

61 Then Rebekah and her attendants got ready and mounted the camels and went back with the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left.

Lovely

IYA NGBALI: thank God I am still a virgin. My own na pounds him go pay and na me go chop am as him go chop me
Na you biko.

I am proud to pay my wife's bride price because i am guilty. Though she was not molested o,but she consented to the act but believe me, how sweet will it be for men to pay monetary bride price on their wives knowing they are guilty as in they are the man who defiled her. But unfortunately, we now pay a bride price that another man should be paying.
CultureRe: Why Do Yorubas Return The Bride-price To The Groom's Family? by Toks2008(m): 2:14pm On Dec 30, 2013
Bride price according to the bible must not be more than 50sheckels of silver which is about 15usd in today's monetary term. This is a punishment for molestation and there is no where in the entire bible where we are instructed to pay MONATARY bride price if molestation is not involved.

The only normal bride price that came from Abraham to Rebekah was in gift items and not money in any form.

furthermore,bride price are to be paid on virgins alone by the man who defiles them.Deuteronomy 22:28-29 states that "If a man finds a girl who is a virgin, who is not engaged, and seizes her and lies with her and they are discovered,then the man who lay with her shall give to the girl's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall become his wife because he has violated her; he cannot divorce her all his days.

The issue of collecting a stipulated amount of money nowadays is not biblical and its borne out of greed.

But for the fact that most men of nowadays are guilty of violating a lady at one time or the other in our lives, i would suggest that any lady that is not a virgin must not even have any form of bride price paid so i guess we all are paying for another man's sins.

WAlahi it can be so annoying to ladies. A lady was practically all over me but i just couldn't open my mouth to tell her that I DON'T LIKE YOUR BODY SHAPE.

I know some will say is that all that matters? i know its not but believe me, how i for do? I am a believer and i have zero tolerance to infidelity and if i ever settle with a lady that has no full hips honestly i will suffer psychologically whenever i make love to this girl without full hips and nice curves.


Just like i cant compromise Samsung electronics for any other brand in same vein i can't just compromise having a lady with curves because it will be hard for me to even have a hard on if i have anything lower than my choice.

Its crazy but honestly that is just who i am.Some guys prefer slim girls, som elove them busty and some love bootilicious babes so just try at least to go for wat you want and it will help a great deal in reducing if not preventing you from looking out.

Some people have asked me how i was able to remain with only one lady for 12 years and i keep telling them. SHE HAS WHAT I WANT PHYSICALLY but no one will ever be perfect in other areas so i decided to tolerate the rest.

I am a staunch lover of ladies with curves so having one at my disposal will never make me desire another. Thats because im a very disciplined man and im proud to say that i have been making out with just one lady ever since talking about 12 years.

If i have any reason to choose again, i will not compromise curvature for anything else or i will be forced to philander with one if i marry a lady without curves i mean sweet curves.

Guys should understand what they want in a woman. If you want a busty lady please don't settle for less else you will only kill yourself with baseless fantasies. So know what you want and be patient enough to find it. Physical attraction comes first in maintaining fidelity in any union. Other things follow and can be tolerated and understood if both partners are willing.

Crazy as it may sound, the most well behaved lady in the world will appeal to me as a wife material but without those curves, i fear i may philander. Infact, those curves comes first because i wont even come close to you to observe other factors if you are not curvy enough to catch my attention.
