r231: 10. "We must pray and fast"
In Yoruba, "e kun fun aduaa". Commonly used in times of tribulation such as Police/EFCC cases, looking for a husband or applying for a UK or US visa.

9. "This is my year of breakthrough"
A new year's eve special. The ready-made lazy man's annual prayer whether or not he has put in an honest day's work the year before, and a popular headline at most money spinning end-of-year religious crusades.

8. "I thank God for your life"
Usually an acknowledgement or appreciation of a benefactor but you scratch your head to find a real meaning to this one. People just drop it anyhow, eg. "I saw Pastor Kososhi drive past me in his Hummer yesterday on Allen Avenue", Reply: "Oh, I thank God for his life".

7. "...but he's a Man of God"
As in the old 'over-the-hill' Brother Jero Pastor who doesn't know how to toast women but secretly lusts after your wife/girlfriend in church. These are the "close your eyes, let us pray" guys who's always around to help or advice, waiting and hoping to take advantage of any misfortune to console his way into your woman's life.

6. "J.E.S.U.S."
Now very popular at Christian weddings across Nigeria as the newly-wed couple cut their cake. This has taken over from the evergreen "3,2,1...". Speaking of weddings, some wack MCs now blackmail the wedding guests by saying "If you want to live to see the new year, let me see your hands up", thus punishing them for not laughing at his dry jokes. Fear has become our God.

5. "I bind you..." (AKA "Holy Ghost Fire! Fire!! Fire!!!"wink
As in, put a curse on you, or threaten you with the wrath of God if you're deemed to be disturbing them for whatever reason. For example, against jobless guys who are proposing marriage, or the Landlord who has come to collect the rent after 8 months!

4. "The Devil is a liar!"
Often used right after surviving a ghastly auto accident, general misfortune, tripping over your children's toys or mistakenly dripping peppersoup on your favourite pink T.M. Lewin shirt!

3. "In the name of Jesus..."
Also abbreviated on Facebook as "IJN" or for maximum effect "in the MIGHTY name of Jesus!". Favourite end-of-sentence soundbite for most Prosperity Pastors on television.

2. "To God be the glory"
The last line of 99.9% of Nollywood films, and fast rising closing remarks at government / corporate seminars (usually just before they share the 'gbemu' in Ghana-must-go bags)

1. "It is well"
Self explanatory enough. Classic soundbite even if it is VERY OBVIOUS that it is not well!

"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind" - Robert Nesta Marley.

when you want to insult others for their religious beliefs, try to not have a picture of yourself staring at whoever checks your profile.

Romance › Re: Guys, What Kind Of Girl do You Respect? by tpia5: 2:10am On Nov 10, 2012
hmm, not too many pages- i guess the notion of using the words "respect" and "girl" in close proximity to each other, is very difficult for most males here.

ie the ones who even heard the word "respect" before? huh
Romance › Re: Reasons Why Those Good Looking Women Are Not Married by tpia5: 2:07am On Nov 10, 2012
hmm,interesting.

my comment:



much as i feel the men are the ones who tend to be excessively picky when it comes to marriage, one has to admit as the world turns, we have to turn with it.

since the males have started noticing and HIGHLIGHTING what they consider flaws in women [focus on nigerian women in particular], then this is something that i think should be addressed.

in addition, the role of CULTURE in how a man will view womenfolk in general. Not wise to ignore this fact.

Blackode: I hear too many stories from ladies who tell me how the sex between them and 'Him' was so wonderful and mind-blowing it was alter-bound(irony), only for 'Him' to inform that why bother buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?.
happens so often!!!!

Bukittes: I don't know again o but do these things guarantee a woman getting married these days? Good character, Pretty in all aspect, sound education and all packaged well were prerequisite in those days for a lady to get a befitting husband. THese days, with all these yet plenty unmarried female. What is happening?

Romance › Re: Is This The TRUE Definition Of Love? by tpia5: 1:52am On Nov 10, 2012
i assume love here means infatuation, in the context of this thread.
Romance › Re: Is This The TRUE Definition Of Love? by tpia5: 1:51am On Nov 10, 2012
love is something teenagers overrate.

lust is something immature people overrate.

neither should take the place of responsibility.

and, if you're not a teenager and you find yourself overrating love, then check other areas of yourself because something is off.

this "happiness" delusion is what has led to high level of dysfunctional relationships we see today.

The link again is http://xtremegists.com/2012/10/sandy-gets-escalated-as-fake-photos-devour-social-media/
i checked about three or more websites yesterday which corrected the fake circulating photos.

well, i suppose people always have to be on the lookout for scams and such, after any natural disaster.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Fake Pictures Of Hurricane Sandy Escalating Panic, Trending On Social Med [PICS] by tpia5: 5:03pm On Oct 31, 2012
the scuba diver on the new york metro was quite a classic picture, i must say.

One can only wonder what on earth was going on in the mind of whoever did that photoshop and circulated it as a real event?

why not go and work for disney- they just took over the star wars franchise and who knows if there'll be some openings? huh
Foreign Affairs › Re: Fake Pictures Of Hurricane Sandy Escalating Panic, Trending On Social Med [PICS] by tpia5: 4:58pm On Oct 31, 2012
a lot of websites are handling the matter and distinguishing between the fake and real pictures, although obviously not everyone on the web will be aware the photos are not real.

snopes.com has some explanations here:

Christianity Etc › Re: Are Christians Permitted To Eat Sallah Meat? by tpia5: 4:40pm On Oct 31, 2012
if your conscience doesnt permit you to eat it, then dont.

its rather foolhardy to assume every single offering is kosher. You dont know what people (individuals) have in mind, and its not everybody who likes you.

some will, some will not.

but if your faith is strong, pray over the food and eat it if you feel you should do so.

[quote author=member_126910]Please tell me where thee commas are. I understand that this is only one side of the story. I did mention that he is better thanhe was at the beginning, which makes me feel that he will change with time - even though people here are saying that people like that don't change. I probably don't look that innocent myself, you're right. This is why I'm trying to figure out WHAT is it that I'm doing? Where have I gone wrong? I only ever go to work - do I quit working and stay at home? This year, I have seen my close friends far less than often, and I spend all weekend with him. I put this down to "well, things have changed"

Yes - the guy in question probably didn't know who I was (and vice versa) and was staring all through the flight. After we landed, heh was waiting to talk to me so I thought he knew me, and responded when he said hi. He introduced himself, and when I picked up that he might have had other intentions i.e saying I looked nice, I told him I was married and walked off. So I don't think it was an innocent conersation on his part. Or maybe I have become paranoid.[/quote]my reason for the question was it seems you're surrounded by people who are amoral. If someone was trying to chat you up, and you later discover he's dating your fiance's cousin, then i guess your fiance has his reasons for being paranoid, given the circumstances.

this is a random encounter, yet you find out the guy is actually somebody you would have met anyway.

as per your question, like someone asked- you must have your reasons for going ahead.
