The bible is nothing more than an ancient soap opera. It is filled with hate, death, murder, prostitution, suicide and lust

so life itself isnt filled with hate, death, murder, prostitution, suicide and lust?

your reasoning is a bit contradictory.

Would you prefer the bible was filled with disney style fairy tales? With happy ever after endings?

that's not real life or reality.

can you quote some more bible verses to buttress your claim, because you've totally lost me. I do get your point though- you're trying to discourage intimacy before marriage. I hope you dont find it too hard.

In the bible times, old times and in old traditions when a covenant is made between two parties, there is shedding of blood

shedding of blood by both parties involved.

so, no, I dont agree with the blood covenant thingy.

explains why people sometimes feel "attached" to people they sleep with

SOME people feel attached to their lovers because they feel sex makes them important to the other party and also because its a soulish thing, if that makes any sense.

The blood of a virgin is significant of a covenant made between the two consenting parties

WOMEN

please greet your fiances, husbands, boyfriends, first in the morning, if you want your relationship to last and so this thread doesnt turn into WWIII and jihad

no need arguing the point or flogging the matter abeg

is this the handsome guy on facebook?

eyah and may he RIP

hope its not him sha.

^^ that's what i also thought at first, but its not.

deluxecad:
It's quite surprising what responses I'm reading here. Nobody makes greeting an issue, I personally wouldn't, but I'd think something is wrong if I woke up to a spouse who can't wish me or who I can't wish a 'good morning or so' to. People always play down issues that turn out to matter a great deal afterwards.

If you must have good and effective communication in your hour house, there must be exchange of compliments, pleasantries, banters and any sweet thing you can voice out, greeting is surely one of them.

Why is the world getting too tech and busy that we now push aside the oils that make society run smoothly?

as others have pointed out, if you're the type who waits with your stopwatch and timer in hand, waiting to see how long it will take your wife to greet you as soon as she gets out of bed, then the wife should most definitely greet you in whichever way you deem fit, as a sign of respect.

If the greeting requires her kneeling down, saluting you and ululating as was done in the olden days, then so be it.

Come sha, can you take a hug instead of a greeting or you just prefer the greeting.

As for me, I will definitely greet my husband in the fully cultural Nigerian way because that's how I am.

strange, odd and weird:

@ topic

**yawn**

In Nigeria, its culturally required for the wife to greet the husband first in the morning.

Even if the husband could care less who greets who first, there will always be outsiders, nosy parkers and family members to insist on protocol ie wife not "disrespecting" the husband by not following some "code of conduct" laid down by whoever.

I hope all the people praising gadaffi will still do the same when he releases his libyan trained Nigerian assassins on you, the general populace, as well as the leaders you think he's criticizing on your behalf.

^^Inesqor posted the color codes before.

why was it changed nah?

anyway:

in Nigeria, you're supposed to reserve the best part of the meat for your husband. Overseas, its not such a big deal most times because the meat would be in excess, together with extra calories and related health problems.

Anyway, the man should tell the wife he prefers the drumsticks, etc and also if possible, buy more chicken so there'll be enough "tasty parts" to go round. In this instance, he can eat his cake and have it.

If they both like drumsticks, then buy enough drumsticks to satisfy both of them. These days there's frozen chicken.

I see part of Anambra has been returned to Benin, in the new map.

"Compare", not "Compear"

and be mindful of tenses- add the "d" when using past tense.

eg

Compare[b]d[/b] to Mars, Venus is relatively further from the sun.

or


Compare[b]d[/b] to red, pink is a softer colour.



Compare= present tense


Compared= past tense.

^^ both examples are unintentional mistakes on NL.

Eddeux:
no, but he's been the dumbest, close-minded, destructive president we've had in decades. Having a degree doesn't mean leaders will know what to do while in office. If this were the case, America wouldn't be $12 trillion in debt after over 30 yrs of borrowing.

@ bolded

that description is exactly why he was chosen for the job.

a president does little more than take the rap, really.

harakiri:
What a topic! ! !

A lil old though.

Isn't it funny that most of the peeps that wished they weren't married are women? They are the ones that push for commitment, push for marriage and once the "contract" is signed, they wished for something else.This topic has strengthened my resolve to enjoy my bachelorhood for as long as it lasts.Women are not worth it!

funny- i havent read the thread but I think its more of a male thing.

Eddeux:
lmao, so having a degree is gonna make Nigeria's leaders wiser so they could lead development in the nation? Sorry to break it to ya, but the only thing a degree gets you is this:[img]http://1.bp..com/_FzOFOVBFaS8/SSQwDz-nP-I/AAAAAAAADtw/EZIPjfFa0M0/s400/george_w_bush.jpg[/img]

^^ has he been America's only president since the country's inception?

@ teslim, sorry about your dad's death but I dont agree with webb jamie.

@ topic, true true. 

i still wonder how he expected me 2 get my sexual edu.

from school (subject:biology, topic:reproduction) and books?

You really expected your dad to sit down and calmly discuss sexuality with you?

maybe I'm old school or something but i dont get it.

I dont expect a dad to say much beyond a girl will get pregnant if you touch her. If that happens, you don become daddy be that. End of discussion.

many of the guys on this thread just dont get it.

Let me paraphrase:

if you meet a white woman for the first time or in a business meeting, do you address her with a pet name or her actual name.

Note: not meeting someone in a strip club but in a normal, everyday setting.

Or if you meet Michelle Obama/Hilary Clinton/Queen of england, do you call them baby.

Please do not tell me you're so far gone that you cant relate with women except on a sexual basis.

and plz dont give me crap about naija women getting ahead of themselves.

@ topic

the two arent mutually exclusive

yes it does, since you're misrepresenting facts

hmm, it seems I need to clarify myself more, since there's a misunderstanding about what I said.

however, I myself am not sure how to explain further.





basically, i think I mean ogaga isnt as crude as abuzola, but he does tend to cross the line with his proselytizing.

Currently he's one dimensional and he should try to have other handles, imo, though of course its not by force. Na internet- I understand many of such types are being monitored for their input.

Jesus is still lord.

**and any of his defence team who dislikes my comments here, is free to scream in frustration**

deep sight needed time off to either refuel or for reprogramming

s/he was starting to lose focus- punching the sky and raining curses on God like any typical atheist.

was katsina the only state that instituted sharia law?

His family wants a traditional Xhosa wedding in SA  and a traditional Nigerian one in Nigeria

Nigerians never cease to amaze me.


Is the man not Nigerian? Since when do people start doing two traditional marriages in the name of culture?

abi what am I missing here?

If a guy cant secure his koko before marriage, he def will do the same after marriage, it has nothing to do with his wifey's look, wether fat/thin/pretty/ugly. It all boils down to the fear of god

Siena:
That's true, Ms Tpia.

Ms siena, unfortunately life being what it is, the wayward man will marry the virgin/non-wayward woman while the wayward woman more often than not, ends up with a non-wayward man. At least relatively non-wayward man.

^^ well, in the case of unrepentant and intimacy addicted cheaters, maybe.

But most times it's simply sheer indiscipline, irresponsibility, looseness and wanton disregard of marriage vows, by the man.

This doesnt mean I'm saying all women are angels. Of course there are some who can outdo the man point for point when it comes to waywardness.

If you don't like your wife's new persona, then the honourable thing to do would be to leave her, set her free to find a guy that'll love her as she deserves

does the same apply if the wife doesnt like her husband anymore after they marry?
