Well to be frank, am already feeling guilty, but my problem is hw'll I get rid of dis emotions dat I hv 4 girls,

odumchi: For some time I've been wondering whether or not Christianity should prohibit us from fully partaking in our tradition and cultural heritage.

For example, I know people who are blessed with a rich cultural background but fail to partake in many of their people's practices because (as they put it) "such things are meant for pagans".

Must being Christian mean that our traditions and cultural practices must die? Was it not God that inspired us with our identity and such methods of self-preservation?

I'm also asking because this affects me. I am a Christian, but I don't believe that that should mean the traditions of my people should be ignored. Although this isn't really a problem in my area (since we have healthy attitudes towards cultural preservation), I would like to hear your opinions on it.

As for myself, I plan to join three of the masquerade and secret societies (ekpo, ekpe, and okonko) of my hometown. Does being a Christian mean that an Obosi man cannot partake in egwugwu, a Calabar man in ekpe, or an Ife man in divination?

Nairalanders give me your opinions!

mmmmm my dears lets be realistic here, believe it or liv it, u can not serve two masters at d same time, ekpo, ekpe okonko as i kn is d south south traditions more especially cross riverians nd akwa ibom p'ple, have u ask urself y is it dat b4 ekpo will come out dey'll paint it black wit ashes mmmmm dat is d symbol of d demon, my dears dia is no relationship b/w light and darkness, dos traditions take u to heaven, christ has come to give us light and i ablogy u to embres d light, ekpo can only lead u to destruction nd poverty, have u p'ple gon nigeria, watch all d p'ple dat reverance tradition dat is wia u'll find d highest poor p'ple living in mod houses, pls brethren stick to Christ Jesus and have a fullfiled life

Every act in nigeria now is boko haram, nigeria security body's should be more active in dia duties and not extorting money from motor riders because now dat all attention is on boko haram, so other criminals may also use it as a means to attack nd rub, after dey will tag it boko haram activity

I lack words but entering dat fish belly was a very big xperience 4 me, in d plane precisely qatar airline to doha, when d plain want to move, i really confess all my sins, because d sound dey like earthquake, now moving up it luks as if d world is turning around. One tin i did not enjoy wz stepin d seat down 4 easy relaxing, i tried but i couldn't until i enter d 2nd flight to dubai dat i luk closely 2 p'ple to kn hw. Now on food, i asked 4 chicken wit rice, dey brout one tin dat is like souce, well i have to manage it, after dat i started having runing stomach, i run enter toilet, after depositing to floush nah wahala, i read all d notice but to God grace i lukd down to see press to floush.....but in all it a great xperince 4 me

Dis topic is an end time topic, dat is to say dat d world is really coming to an end, hw can somebody who was brought up by parents think such a tin. Coming from Bible perspective, d reason why God creat woman is 4 man to have a companion, old testament said dat its not gud 4 a man to stay alone, new testament went furtheer to say dat, a man will liv his mother nd father, sisters nd brothers, uncles nd aunts/cousins nd move over to a woman 4 dem shall bcom one nd bcalled husband nd wife. Now who are u to destroy wot God kept by Himself, commenters be careful. Remember dat Bible said dat he dat findet a wife finds a good tin nd obtain favour from God nd again bear in mind dat we are not of d world. He dat dos nt kn wia rain started beatin him will not kn it stops, nd mind u ignorance of d scripture is not an excuse in d sight of God

If removing dos chairmen will make Imo beta, pls Rochas continue, infact send dem on excile

Dis is realy a disgraz to corppership, yyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Dis two motherfucker want p'ple to notice dem, after dey have turned nollywood 2 sexywood, dey still wants to be pittyed, abeg but hw did dis make d front page?

Pls lets learn how to judge less more especially on the side of pastors or prophets, God really knows why He said dat His judgemnt will start from the Head,',

must all pastors wife be pastors?

Is it a crime 4 your sister or relatives to call u honey or sweetheart

I don't really want to comment on dis topic, what i want to kn is hw to post topic for dia nairaland, pls i need replys

Well lets not judge because only God kns who is who in dis world, just concentrate on ur own salvation

Well all i'll say is 4 u to kn urself nd work 4 ur own salvation, and again lets not judge anyone because only God knows the truth
