Sal C: No!

A man impregnated his 13 years old daughter. How will you advice the family to handle this case.

NB- abortion is not an option.

Note- this is not an imaginary story but one that is currently happening

this one is interesting, adoption no dey work for niaja, so i think there are really few options left for the family.


I still remember my mon when i was going to the university, she said "you know right from wrong, you don't need me to remind you about that, you know the result of sex, you know when it is right and wholesome and when it is wrong and immoral, you no longer need my advise in that area. But if you do make a mistake and there is a baby, banish your fears and bring her home, i'll care for both. Never allow your mistake change you, you can alway make blessing of the worst situation". I didn't make a mistake, i didnt get to use the get out of jail card but if i think of my mum and if such a situation arises. She won't really take it smiling she will remind you and make sure you know the effect of your deeds but she will make sure the kid got the best care and education she can afford.


I think the cases above, the parent have to take over.

macof:
No miss, I am 100% sure No church preaches "God is in everything"
To the Christchurch, God is a very separate entity residing somewhere you call heaven

the christian religion does teach that God is in all things, it is called the omnipresence of God and is clearly found in eph 4:6

one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

What the christian religion doesn't teach is that everything is God or that the divine essence is posessed by created things, that idea i believe is called pantheism.

texanomaly: Don't all churches? If the adherents say, "I am a child of God."

i don't think so. Most church will draw a line between natural sonship and adopted sonship.

To possess that which make God God (the divine essence) will make you a natural son of God, that will make it a 4nity or 5nity. What most churches believe is that the power of God is now operative in you to a new degree, he adopted you into his divine family, that new operative power they like to call GRACE. i am a child of God simply means i'm adopted. I dont have the divine "linage", but i'm a part of the family.

macof: Lmao so Jesus was God himself and felt pain knowing that the pain would be over in 33 short years and he would be back to his throne in the sky

this unfortunately isn't a point. You don't need to live for 70yrs to have experience pain and suffering. You can live 12yrs and experience pains as few have ever experience. 33yrs is quite long and it is enough time to experience pain.

What's the sacrifice and pain in setting up my own death when I can resurrect and rid myself of the pain.

actually there is sacrifice in knowing and accepting a most painful death as a criminal, while all those you tried to help have a better life see you as their enemy. There is psychological, emotional pain, then then physical pain. Knowing all this beforehand and still accepting it, still decide to experience it personally is just heroic.

If Jesus were not God - the all powerful, all knowing. He could have felt real suffering because he wouldn't have known he would be the king of the world after the event

hahaha, so hope make suffering useless.... Or the knowledge of some greater glory makes suffering bearable.

I actually find that interesting becos that is exactly what Christ offers to those suffering, hope and the promise of a greater glory. Even with that suffering is still there, it is still suffering, it is just of a different specie.


If Jesus suffering was so great and so happyish, then why not be a christian? Have the assurance of that greater glory and see how it transforms your suffering.

Van snickers: Fool.

it is a good question, does nigeria have a gay blog, i thought the new bill ended all type of gay associations including such thing as a gay blog.

Maybe i am wrong.

texanomaly: Until I came to NL, I considered myself a Christian. Now I have leanings elsewhere, but do not deny Christ. I guess I am still a Christian, because I try to live a Christ-like life. Most times I fail miserably, but I try.

My way of thinking about where we are going, why we are here and creation do not coincide with mainstream Christianity or even the Christian faith I grew up in. To be honest I'm not sure I have a category. Some may call that confusion. Sometimes even I do, but I know what I believe and I know where I stand. For now...I'm good with that.

i just gat interested.

What are your new formed views of where we are going, why we are here and creation?

qstar: John 10:17-18 NIV

"The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life--only to take it up again.

No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.".

how does the passage disturb my claim? It actually confirms what i said.

woky: guy add raw egg, nothing go happen.. The highest thing wey go happen na to patronise toilet 8times in a day.. Mtcheew afterall going to toilet does not requires gate-fee, no bouncer, It is a free and private place to offload unwanted items. Jst Like a pub VIP

God no go let you kill person,

jnrbayano: Yoruba people full Anambra o make no mistakes about that.

Now you know which tribe I hail from and the history behind my moniker thanks to Italo.

Mariagracias is in the hiding if she is in Anambra let her come and prove it

hmmm.... Hmmmm...., fine boy use style invites fine girl to visit.... Recipe for *cough cough*.

damerry: Just try hard bro. When all fails, remember the fact that each hailmary is a beautiful rose.

First thing first, acknowledge the mystery e.g. The first mystery of light, the baptism of Jesus. Acknowledge that Jesus was baptized to identify himself with us and accept the role of God suffering servant.

Then, As you recite each Hailmary, Picture a rose emanating deep from within you, coming out of your mouth with your innermost feelings and desires (petitions, thanksgiving, Joy, sorrows e.t.c) to form a crown of roses as subsequent hailmary produces a rose with adds to other roses to make a complete crown for Mary.

if i try this one, i will vomit a dirty rose without petals.

God helep me o.

wat is happening here?

[quote author=Me_Aboki]Some bastards here are rejoicing because innocent northerners were arrested and tortured in the East under the pretext of security; well since this is apparently quite ok; then I pray what goes around should also come around and that soon bus loads of nyamiris a.k.a black Jews travelling to the north should soon be arrested and equally tortured while screening for potential armed robbers, kidnappers, ritualists and drug pushers - pls if you are not a bigot, join me in prayer and say Amen![/quote]these guys who are defending this stupidity actually want people to believe it is right to racially profile and arrest people,

Sal C: Two distinct personalities reside in you

flesh and blood didn't reveal this to you!

I think i actually have 3 distinct personalities. I must be unique.

babestell: bring your ear close, lemme whisper

oya i don com, tell me sofri sofri.

Edenitis: Islam is certainly going to take over the world in no distant future.
From Canada to the southernmost European country, indigenous populations are dwindling.
Europeans and Americans are producing fewer children - 1.3 per couple at the average whereas the Asians, mostly muslims, are migrating into these countries and flooding the place with their offsprings at the rate of 5 - 8 children per couple. It is only a matter of time before the inevitable occurs.
It has been predicted in some quarters that the American President 20 years from now will be a moslem.

What I wish to state clearly here is that the antichrist will ride on the back of Islam.
A lunatic like Al-Baghdadi will seek to have a world government with sharia as the guiding law. He will have the power of US, UK, France, Germany, Spain etc! All who do not convert will not be allowed to buy or sell!

Before then will be the Rapture.

The bible already predicted the coming of the antichrist. Look no further.

Children of the Most High God be watchful and prayerful. Avoid ALL SIN and sing MARANATHA.... Come Lord Jesus!

i thought the pope was the anti christ,...

The answer depends on who you ask.

Predestination is one on the most complication words you'll find in scriptures.

I'll try to explain in the marwing.

Rexxie: i learnt that also obtains in the benin kingdom,that the oba of benin mustsnt see his 1st son..legend has it that the current oba of benin got so old his mother had to trick oba Akenzua to the palace court to behold something important only to get there to his son..learnt he got angry,turned back and placed a curse on her and stormed into his charmber never to be seen again...well,i dont know the authenticity of that but i know the current oba was old in years b4 ascending the throne just like prince charlse is getting old while da queen is still frolicking..

i think the custom once obtained, though i'm not sure it still obtains today.

9jacrip: Fact: heads of Benin Kings have been buried in Ile-Ife since Eweka till the colonialist took a strong hold and it was stopped - the last 2 Benin Kings were buried in Benin with their complete parts.

Fact: Yoruba was the palace language in Benin until recently, I believe it was stopped by the present Oba because during the predecessor's time, Yoruba was still the palace language.

Benin Monarchy is different from Benin people who had been long in existence before Oranmiyan and Eweka. The Oranmiya/Eweka phenomenal effect was making Benin throne an offshoot and a 'junior' to Ife throne like other Yoruba thrones where Ife gives blessings and confirmation of every ascending king - in the case of Benin, it was furthered by making Yoruba the palace language and burial of Benin king parts in Ife.

The confusion we have today is as a result of egotistic kings who seek to slash history into bits just to be highly placed - above or equal to Ooni. Same is Ijebu with Sudan story. The effect of this egotistic agendas is why we are here arguing place of Oba Ado's death - in a few more decades starting from now, we will begin to argue Yoruba language was never Benin Palace language.

Soon, successful Benin kings will stop going to Ife for blessings and confirmation of kingship and we will start debating if previous Benin kings ever did.

actually the beni kings never go to ife to confirm their kingship or for blessing!

The bini palace has its own shrines and priest, and after the death of the oba the princes do not go out until the new oba has ascended the throne, they don't go on a journey after the death of their king.

The oduduwa effect actually made all yoruba kingdoms to be an offshoot of the bini royal family.

If yoruba language was the language of the bini royal house then the son of oranyan wouldn't have been called eweka, he would have been called owomika.

shymexx: Stop telling porkies - a large chunk of Bini religion came from Yoruba. Ifa, Olokun, Ogun etc.

A lot of Bini arts also came from Yoruba. There are Ife, Owo, and Ijebu influences on Benin arts - even most Benin historians can't deny this.

actually dear, olukun and ogun were localised in yoruba land, they are actually bini god, and in bini, olokun isn't necessarily female, he is actually the SON of osanobua, ogun too, if you do a search on the origin of olokun worship u will be suprised.

Really, humour me about the yoruba influence in bini art.

lamdec: I have been observing this Benin-Yoruba argument for a while and although I am not taking sides but I want to go by what you posted.
According to your claim, only some specific people knows where the Oba of Benin is buried and what is done during burial. Even the Chiefs don't know, you claimed only the Palace Chiefs know and they won't tell. So that has proven that NO Benin person can Authoritatively say if the Heads of the Oba of Benin is buried in Ile-Ife or not. And here there is a proof of a Shrine that indicates that the Head of Oba of Benin is buried in Ife, and like the Edo people use to claim that their history is well documented, I think we should go by the proof we have on ground and agree that the "Heads" not the whole body is buried in Ile ife, while the other part of the body is buried in Benin.
I know we would not reach a concesus even with proof because as humans, we believe we are superior than any other person(s).

the story that no one knows the sacred ground of the bini kings rest is like the story that no one knows if human sacrifices once characterised the death of the bini kings, and that know one know the rituals that the new king performs before ascending the throne.

I don't know means i'm not permitted to tell you about it.

macof: No one says Benin culture is has roots in any Yoruba city but as for the Eweka dynasty's Omo n'oba of Benin Oba Erediuwa, his ancestors were buried in Ife, as a way of honouring the land of their fathers

His bloodline is traced back to Oranmiyan, as the Ooni Ife and Alaafin of Oyo too

erediawa's direct father akensua was actually buried in bini palance.

And correction, the ooni and the alaafin do not share the same bloodline, atleast not according to the alaafin.

The alaafin says the ooni is a slave who was suppose to keep the rituals going in ife.

macof: yes Bini are independent but where did their royal family come from = Ife

Infact Before Eweka I (son of Oranmiyan), The Adimula of Ife was the one who controlled Bini as Oranmiyan was sent as a representative..... I wouldn't want to go deep in this bit cause not much people know this...it would only cause commotion

nobody in the bini royal family will ever listen to this. Bini was never ruled from ife. Before the eweka monachy was the ogiso dynasty. Ife was still a small village then, it didn't have tentacles.

Before oba eweka, bini was ruled by ogiso owodo, as the title "ogiso" implies, the igodomigodo dynasty was ruled by people who were believed to be rulers from heaven, the folklore still remains the the decendants of the ogisos own the whole world.

The ogiso were independent rulers of their people and they claimed divine right to do so, they thus were not and could not be under ife, who needed a stranger to take over its reins of leadership in the person of oduduwa.

Just as you claim that the source of the bini royal house is ife, the binis will claim that the source of the entire yoruba royal linage is from igodomigodo (igodo) through oduduwa. So the royal family didnt come from ife but was resident in ife.

Olumidzti: But this is only a simple matter of fact. Where was the last king buried?

in bini.

Oba erediawa and his son can show you the burial place of there father.

Ubenedictus, go and do penance for your dubious nonsense

-5 our fathers
-a decade of the rosary
but say the act of contrition first[/quote]Jesus did die.
He didn't kill him self.

I think you should say ur own penance.

Weah96: Ubenedictus is a cult member, he just doesn't think it's a cult because of the membership size.

all religions are cults, if the word cult is used in the right sense then all religions are cults. I don't take offense. I belong to the christian cult.

londoner: Since when do policemen need a warrant from a judge to arrest? That is in some circumstances, especially when you need a search warrant for entering a property or vehicle to search. Even then. it is founded upon a level of suspicion. The warrant is sought in the belief that the search will uncover evidence.

Or are you saying that all policemen in Nigeria obtain a warrant before an arrest? That is untrue and you know it.

in nigeria i think the constitution is bypassed but the constitution actually say you need a warrant in most case.

Anyhow you look at the situation, it smells of ethnic profiling
