virgin in the context you quoted, means unmarried woman.

check verse 34 of that chapter.
Christianity Etc › Re: Someone Should Please Explain 1 Cor 7:36 For Me, I'm Confused! by tpia5: 10:57pm On May 11, 2012
Blofeld: The passage in question is as follows: "But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry." (1 Corinthians 7:36).
I'm at a loss as to what St Paul was driving at here. All my mind is telling me is that this passage endorses premarital se'x. I need answers pls!
i have issues with christians who always [emphasis on always] wait for others to explain things and never take any initiative to actually study the bible quietly with a goal to enriching themselves personally.

this isnt meant as a criticism of you, but is just an observation. If it doesnt apply to you, then ignore the comment.


@ topic

read the whole chapter and you'll get a better picture.

the verse is referring to men who are engaged to be married. If the engagemant period is getting too long and the man can no longer wait, then he should go ahead and marry his betrothed.

behaveth unseemly means if he's desiring to consumate the relationship and can no longer hold himself.

if the child cant talk that means she's mute and there's a chance she might be deaf as well, though the grandmother doesnt think this is the case.

please make enquiries about schools for the deaf in the area [lagos or ogun states or the environs] and see if she can be enrolled there. Also what can be done about transportation, accommodation, etc to such schools.

my two cents, could be wrong.

are you serious?





Come on Life's good. Myth and superstition increases by saying that the koran grows with the baby..
Now the family is looking for a stadium to do a naming ceremony...Naija we hail
at this rate, someone will have a baby that came out clutching an ipad or something.

education is paramount here.

this is why its very important for females to be educated.

in this day and age, there are hospitals and clinics available for childbirth.

the size of that baby indicates the birth mother may have had gestational or ongoing diabetes which was probably untreated.


and if the child was unresponsive to stimuli [as we heard from the tales circulating], then ideally it should be seen by an outside doctor or other qualified health professional, preferably in a govt hospital.

yoruba phantasmagora/folklore actually speak of babies born with strange mannerisms, etc.

eg esu kekere ode [i think it was] from ogboju ode who was born with a fully developed set of teeth, the ability to talk immediately after delivery and i think he walked as well as soon as he came out.

his first action was to beat up all the well wishers who came to greet the mother. After that, he drank like 5 kegs of palmwine or so per day, and also consumed pounded yam in great quantities.

i think that's how the story went.

fiction of course, but very funny.

another fake story which made the rounds on the major news media last week:





Vengeful teeth-pulling dentist story deemed a hoax

Remember the tale of the jilted Polish dentist who pulled all the pearly whites from the mouth of her ex-boyfriend?

Turns out the story has no teeth.

The report that dentist Anna Mackowiak removed all her ex-boyfriend's teeth after he came into her dental office complaining of a toothache turned out to be false.
The popular story, which included quotes from both parties and ended with statements that Mackowiak was being investigated and that the man had already lost his new girlfriend because of his toothless look, was picked up by Yahoo! News, MSNBC and dozens of other major U.S. media outlets.

Kudos to MSNBC contributor Erin Tennant for chipping away at the story and getting to the truth of the matter.

Here's what Tennant learned:
•The Polish police agency in the region where the incident reportedly took place is not investigating any such case.
•Poland's Chamber of Physicians and Dentists is not investigating any case like the one reported. Nor, is a dentist named Anna Maćkowiak listed on its professional register.
•News outlets in Poland did not report the story. Some, however, reported the foreign media's coverage of what they called a "prank."
•The original story was traced back to Britain's Daily Mail newspaper. The writer Simon Tomlinson, says he does not know where the story originated, despite its bearing his byline. "I've drawn a bit of a blank," he told MSNBC.
•American Dental Association's national spokesperson, David Johnson Jr., said the story was highly improbable because most dentists are equipped to administer drugs only for conscious sedation dentistry. That would mean the man would've known all his teeth were being pulled as it was happening.

It looks like, in this case, the only thing pulled was our leg.

@ topic

I doubt there's any unknown facts per se, about any of the major groups in nigeria and indeed west africa if not the whole of africa.

colonization was pretty thorough or does anyone have evidence to the contrary? huh



Question: Is Southeast and Igboland the same thing?
Answer: Not at all. Southeast is only about 3/5th of Igboland. Igboland covers the whole of Southeast, parts of Rivers, Delta, Benue, and Akwa Ibom states.
ok, this is very funny.

I'm following the expansion- i remember it was first delta and rivers, then it stretched to benue, and now it includes akwa ibom.

what about cross river though- you cant have one without the other.

i think at some point bayelsa too. (gej?)


anyway, carry on- will read the entire post if possible.
