the madness continues, so redeemed allowed trousers in order to attract male worshipers?

Nigerian press and the garbage they publish, In my view there is nothing 'biblical' in banning trousers, you may give specifications as to what degree clothes should be tight-fitting and what degree of exposed skin is preferrable to you, but to 'ban' an item of clothing with so many variations and styles based on a purported conservative/biblical slant is short sighted. I'd like redeemed members to furnish us with copies of this 'recent bulletin'.

PM News is famous for junk journalism so i would take anything they say with a pinch of salt

Why say that just because the women wear trousers they are outlandish or trying to attract male worshippers. Sometimes certain people should not be allowed to have contact with the public as in journalism. I wear trousers because it is extremely comfortable and safe. Did he go to the church to find out whether or not they were clad skimpily or whether their trousers were skin tight? I hardly believe that people were wearing their jeans that tight and the pastor is just now banning it. This whole trouser banning business is ridiculously disgusting it's almost humorous. I think the reason places like Nigeria are third world is because people in power focus in the irrelevant aspects of the country.

Ok. I don't know if this pastor Adeboye has converted to Muslim or not but growing up I had thought that women wearing trousers was something frowned upon by all Nigerians. My father is a pastor and he said that it was not proper for women to wear trousers. He has since stopped that nonsense but yes. I am just speaking honestly about this. We've lived outside of Nigeria for thirteen years and no matter how bushman you are you have to adapt and an adaption he made was allowing his daughters to wear trousers

Ok, I'll like to contribute my 2 cents after reading all seven pages.

This is ridiculous. My beloved country is turning into something else. Let's stop deceiving ourselves here people, WE ARE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. "Developing" my ass. WE have a long way to go.

But as per the topic, when people are getting paid to do unnecessary things like banning people from wearing trousers, you realize they have too much time on their hand. Instead of tackling that issue. All those involved should wear gloves and pick up the dirt on the floor and clean the gutter. ALL off them will make a huge difference if they did that for only a day.

I would say they should use that time and money to crack down on bribe takers but then again these are they same people that take bribe. We are always saying Nigeria is the cream of Africa. Deep within my heart when all those I am trying to fool are gone I know it's a load of crap. Have you seen South Africa? It seems only when white people are around can anything go right. Thank God Lagos is no longer the capital as it would be a crying shame to know that such fallacy ihas befallen Nigeria in the name of decency. THEY could honestly use that money to feed people, fix the damn roads, keep electricty on for longer periods of time. I wish the fools putting this garbage into effect would think about more improtant issues plaguing Nigeria.

I posed this question earlier and I will pose it again hopefully I can get an answer. If a foreigner is wearing pants what will happen? Even worse wearing some skimpy shorts. White girls don't like the African heat and they tend to prefer shorts. What if the person is not even white but is a foreign born Nigerian. The next page will be when people go, say to the each they may have to wear bedsheets.

Tell him your parents have made an arranged marriage and there is nothing you can do about it. He'll hate your parents and pitty you.

Wow. So silly

this is mere wishful thinking. When the sultan calls on muslim groups to "counter" the activities of missionaries in the south, when ordinary mohammedan cartoons in Denmark lead to death and destruction in Sokoto or Kano we may as well wait for the next holocaust the minute Nigeria attempts to join the Organisation of Christian Nations.

You can challenge the fact that Muslims tend to act crazy. Even when the Nigerian girl won Miss World but the contest could not be held in Nigeria the next year because Muslims believed beauty contests are evil. Sometimes despite what you think and believe others should be able to do things their own way. It is not always fair to infringe ones beliefs on the rights of others. The fact that Nigeria sends its girls to beauty pageants means that some people don't have a problem. Imagine the money that could have been made if the pageant was held in Nigeria.

People quote scriptures out of context and then boast that the bible contradicts itself, I don't see the contradiction.
Those who learn very well in school have been taught how to correctly interpret the things they read.

I don't anything else can be said but the above. I lived in Jamaica and Rastafarians would try to twist up, well everyone tries to twist up the bible so they can in the end claim that it is contradictory. Now I know what to tell the "go back to school and learn to read well.

KObe when you say na complete wa o what exactly you deh mean?

your own stupidity has no boundary!! is Aisha the mother of Christ? or was Aisha the wife of Muhamed? if the southern Kaduna people bear such names then it leaves a lot to be said about their religion and beliefs

i don't know of any moslem with the name of Mary and and if you tell me that some Christians in the north are called islamic names, then i'll advice you to look for another thread because you lack argument

This rings very true. Though extremely funny there is truth to every humorous sentence.

My colleague has a device to test for premature ejaculation, just bring your proposed hubby to her and she'll do all the rest, 100% Guaranteed

Debosky, why do I fear that if your collegue tests him to find out whether he is a premature ejaculator he might not be a virgin anymore. Thus bringing us and especially me back to square one.

like that's going to make them less promiscous

Good point. Even if you cover up a LovePeddler a LovePeddler will be a LovePeddler. All these people are doing is wasting time and energy and looking to brutalize women. And people wonder why Nigeria has a bad name.

For fear of ending up with a premature ejaculator I will never marry. I will send myself to a nunery. Unless anyone here has a better idea to finding out whether a boy is a virgin. Perhaps a lie detector test. If the machine is too expensive find me a human lie detector tester. People that work for theFBI are trained to do the human one.

All you want is for someone to endorse your action or at least give a go ahead so that you will clear your mind. The reason you gave for his divorse is not convincing at all. If you really are a christian then what I am about to say will be highly meaningful to you.
In christianity the only ground allowed for divorce is on adultery basis. If you get married with a divorcee on any other ground you have locked your self up in adultery.

when in your post I saw "one thing I've got to say, " I hought you were going to say something sensible, but to my disappointment you shamelessly displayed your lack of decency by reporting that as a teenager you slept with a man who is likely to be older than your father. or a little younger than him. You should be ashamed yourself, not only for doing that but for still see that as a virtue.

For the guy I am sure you did not expect him to give the real reason why his marriage failed especially when he was at fault. I am qiute sure the wife divorced him when he refused to change his ways of chasing small girls there by bringing shame to the woman, i guess the woman could take it any longer she had to leave. What kind of man at that age will go after girls your age. Believe it or not your was not the first and willl not be the last and also you are nott the only one he is keeping. He is simply an agabya(An old Fool).
I am happy you mentioned that your parents will not accept him, that is not because he is too old.But because they know better. If you want the best advice as to this Talk to parent or adults that are as old as that boy you called a man

There is nothing to pray about because if you do you will only be wasting your time because God will not be a part of a filthy and disgraceful relationship.
If you love your life you will flee.
Sorry to hit you this hard, this is the only way some messages can be understood.

Well put. Anyone else trying to match this is just wasting their time.

As roadblock said he will never stop chasing other girls. Younger girls than you are out there and if you fell for it is hard to believe someone else will not.

The problem with incurable optimists is that they themselves are unwitting tools in the hands of those for whom intolerance and bigotry is a religious principle. What makes advanced countries great is the benefit of foresight and the willingness to confront the truth no matter how unpleasant.

Here here my friend. Not many is willing to confront anything that makes their country look bad especially if it deals with religion.
For that person that said something to the effect of Muslim state. It is not a part of the Koran that wearing trousers is unsightly to the eyes of Allah. Not that I have read the Koran or anything but my Muslims friends wear Trousers and I don't they will be cast into the outer abyss for that. Well I hope not.

My father who is a pastor used to not let me wear trousers he said it was not Christian like. After we watched a news special how men wore cameras on their shoes to look under women he quickly began singing a different tune. [color=#006600][/color]

Good question thief or hearts.That's the problem why I say we woman got the bad end of the deal. I was wondering if any one on this site has an idea. My friend says premature ejaculation is a sign of a virgin boy. If at the end I can't tell then scr3ew it I won't marry. You might ask what if you fall in love. The way I see I don;t think most Nigerians marry for love. Just doctors and engineers.

Men like the whole conquerer bullsh@t. They want to be the first one. The one teach the girl and so that even if they are not performing right she will not have anyone else to compare him to. I hate it so much, I think girls have the bad end of the stick. The hymen gives it all away unless you can say riding a horse or doing sports tore it. With men you can't tell, I think. I myself is a part of that wait till marriage bullshit. Well because am afraid of disease, AIDS is a bitch you know and pregnancy. I however don't plan on marrying anyone who is not a virgin. If am going to be clueless then we have to be clueless together.

Before the coming of the Europeans and the Arabs,were not African women skimpily dressed? Are the bare breasted Koma women victims of Western influence?

The irony is that those who assert that African women must cover up as much as possible, and that such a failure to cover up is a product of Western influence, are promoting values first transmitted to us by outsiders.

Extremely true my friend. If only someone could say this to those idiots in power trying to or may already have put this stupid idea into effect. People constantly talk about western influence. Unless Nigeria is planning to lock itself away from outside influence of any form, denying woman the right to wear whatever in the hell they want is an idiots attempt to suppress women.

I think it is silly that in this day and age women are being arrested in a place as NIgeria for wearing trousers, and in Lagos. If a white woman who is a tourist wore trousers what is going to happen then is what I want to know?

What exactly you think seh middle finga a go do mi.

AiK you should have just ignored him. THe thread asked a question and you answered it. It has nothing to do with whether it deh pepper you or not.

Aik is very right. Age is but a number but when Michael Jackson did everybody went crazy. What has he been waiting for? Hopefully not for her to be born. If an 18yr old person does not need to be thinking age is a number they need to leave little girls to find themselves young men their age.

I wish someone could tell me what time it is currently in Nigeria because it is 3:09p.m here. I wish you could understand I no deh care if you think I deh annoy you.

I wish someone could tell me how the new Nigerian president is. I was in Ghana in June when he was elected? That was my first time back in Africa in 13yrs after leaving Nigeria. How is my homeland?

I wish someone could teach me how to use this site. i always want to connect with Nigerians but this Nairaland is annoying me very much.

Does anybody know about a volunteer group called IEARN? They seem to be willing to take people to other countries for free.

Well the Naira is dropping rapidly so maybe my worth would be alarming in Nigerian money

Frankly I think a he is too old for you. What I don't like about Nigerian men is that they want younger women. Way younger. Almost 10yrs for me is rediculous
