₦airaland Forum

Most times.

Whatever he says to you, do


and

Whatsoever you do in my name

There are many versions of the word mum. List coming up.

I assume these bounties and largesse we see on social media are also distributed across every strata of Nigerian society?

It does seem like Nigerians are quite comfortable , or is it Nairalanders in Nigeria who are?

Seems like the same person photoshopped as different colours.

In the sense of using physical methods to manage your feelings? eg splashing cold water on yourself which is generally considered a libido deterrent.

budaatum:
One may quote you without actually be talking to you since you wouldn't be the only one reading one's response.

My quote you mentioned was for the op, are you the op?

budaatum:
Unlike some, other people do not define what is moral and what is not for me, nor do I treat peoples' opinions as commands.

I still do not get why you quoted me to begin with?

Did my questions to the op look like commands to you?

I simply asked if she has accepted Jesus Christ's offer of salvation, I did not pester her over it, and I just checked the thread occasionally to follow the topic. What exactly is your grouse?

As per non Christians who are congregating here recently for unknown reasons, yes, they should also consider allowing Christ to minisiter to them, so they dont just arrive in the section transferring the drama from the other sections they're coming from. In other words, get God with all your getting.

Sometimes you cant avoid random pictures on a thread.

What do you do in that instance, to help you cope with your feelings? Especially if you consider some things just too irresistible. I was surprised by some of the comments.

I just saw a picture of a (Nigerian?) lady who was fully dressed, not too much nudity.

And a few men on the thread panicked, saying they were being tempted.

How do you cope with such innocuous situations which are open to different interpretations, one of which is you feel the woman is trying to tempt you?

Just wondering, because it almost seemed like she was admiring her shoes, looked somewhat ambiguous.

And no, it's not just because of brideprice.

Many places dont even collect that.

By many.


But remember God created woman as well as man.

I wouldn't let it ruin my day.

And yes, I'm female.

Note to nlers!

If anyone seems fixated with me, and are using me to bond with you, better run far or at least stop deceiving yourself.

I have said my own.

Dont blame me after they're done scamming you.

This is nlposter.

Some folks are just malicious souls pretending to be Christians. Whoever is deceived by them is not wise.

Odward:
@tpiar can you see my first post? The second post was just me citing other examples.

Your other post:

Odward:
These set of guys are always testing everything. Test wife, test kids, test neighbors, test pastor

Anyone mention my name yet as giving out my contacts? I didn't read the thread.

Odward:
Fr did I mention marriage? I was just giving examplpes of guys who like to test everything

Did you not say wife, kids?

Better go and edit your statement now!!!!!!!!!

Odward:
These set of guys are always testing everything. Test wife, test kids, test neighbors, test pastor

The OP said nothing about his/her post involving marriage or a family. S/he mentioned premarital relationships.

There really are too many of you monitoring people's marriages, it consumes your whole life.

Even religion was not part of the opening post but OP brought a totally off topic religious analogy later.

Test the spirits.

Especially when they start calling you bad names and wishing you evil.

Speak good things to yourself and let their evil return to them.

Unnecessary analogy.

beethoven:
I think you are missing the point! Please take your time to read what was suggested. It is not about the number of likes, it is about improving the quality of the contents created/posted in Nairaland. Would you rather open a thread, and the first set of comments you see are good ones (that people love) or would you rather see a bunch of people posting letters (to reserve space) or worst still dedicating comments to their ancestors and shouting FTC up and down? Think about this.

How do likes improve content when about 30% of the two million monikers are simply for followership of other monikers?


Meaning whatever certain ids post, even if its nonsense, they'll get nonsensical likes while better topics and comments would be relegated to obscurity by these same trolls?

It's just a takeover of the forum and its eventual decline.

They call this throwing shades.

Who are you talking to?

Well, if they can post whatever they like because it's a free site then they can also post put downs of Nigeria then?

I believe that's the reasoning.

My own grouse is the exact same topics are repeated over and over again, somebody now showing us the inside of a fridge as if there are no fridges nor food nor kitchens in Nigeria. And the fridge was even full of covered plastic bowls?

If only nairaland charged a subscription fee like I suggested.

I just dont read long stories here, they're too many and most times fake with all the unnecessary details.


Eg your husband married you as a virgin , why is that relevant to your story? You never talked to people before you got married or what?

I mean, I've been trying to be diplomatic about what they are doing (everybody has a cause), but they dont care for that.

Their agents have also made a point of trolling me intensely for the past few days.
