dozieokwu:
Hey guys, if u have an xbox one and you have games, then let's exchange cds.

@doziekwu, when you bought the console, did it come with the kinet inclusive? Where did you buy yours from and how much? Thanks for now.

I am constantly being hurt by the less quantity of cement bagged in the 50kg bags of our cement manufacturers. I used to think it was an oversight but now I know these acts from the manufacturers are deliberate. And to think that Dangote Obajana has the largest share in this evil makes it bitter-sweet.

Moreover, I almost lost a site because of this wickedness, had it not been for my past dealings with the man-in-charge. We are very happy that you have introduced the 42.5 grade; but will you now supply us --people and traders in Anambra especially-- underweight bags. Just as QUALITY IS NEEDED, SO IS QUANTITY: LET 50kg be 50kg, Sir!

Trade is sweet when done with less suspicion. S.O.N. and other concerned people should take note.

Shagati:
Triumph Rocket III....or is it the II?
Just Google guys, Google!

Hi, Shagati, that is the bike I use for my whatsapp pic. Beside all her 'mamothness,' can she be at par with the kawasaki's when it comes to riding fast? Although I am not a rider (yet!), but I like bikes big. Please do respond.

Make dem watch those yankees before dem carry grander strain empty am for we Naija, all in the guise of studying their big head. Diam, nkwucha aburo ujo.

"That's how the rich stay rich!" "...keep it in tha family." Now I understand what Chris Tucker meant when he said this in Money Talks.

I use to think that since we were 'no where' before we were born, that when we die we get back to the state of the same 'no where.' But I started thinking about the reasons why we dream at night when we sleep. I now know that so many things -evil or good- can be sent ones way while he snores.
Who is that (ourself) person we really see in our dreams? Could that be our soul or spirit? I know that death can come to us through so many means, not by sleep alone. Sleep has many stages - when we dream or have nightmares are we on a quarter to cross-over? I am taking my time with my research on dreams. When I am done, I pray to give you...

I think two things are bound to occur:

1) An explosive force, capable of destroying the two titans; or

2) A repulsive force, a kind of back-to-sender on the irresistible force, with none of the titans scorched.

marvie234: It shall not come near my dwelling place(Amen!).
Bt meanwhile, I like d way d government is handling dis. Am really proud of them. D number of survivors is almost twice d number of deaths.... Kudos! God should give them more wisdom n direction.

U don't mean it!

I am urgently expecting this go'ment to honourably tender her... The "unseriousness" and lies mongering stink. However, are ur 'houses' in order?

thwarrior72: The one ones u have'b holding in ur villages & towns in Nigeria how has it benefited u & ur people @ large?......

Forget how it has affected me. Anyways, how many of us know there was a congress going up in America currently? I give thanks to nairaland. Let us not forget about the proverbial..., beginning at home. Home first!

Why not in Agukwu or Arochukwu? Why should it be overseas, where majority of us cannot partake? Na dem know wetin dem dey do there, dey talk say na world Igbo whatever.

My worry is that we are treating this ebola matter with less attention than required. The private school owners may be right about their stand. Let our government look into the suggestions made by the body, instead of giving us false hopes while the problem escalates.

Now I imagine the days of my ancestors fighting strange diseases, making sacrifices to gods, some surviving. Fear dey oh

I am yet to see someone who watched most of his films I have at home and didn't fall in love with Mr. Chan. But I wish and pray he does not get involved with the Expendables movies. Expendables is not his kind of film, neither will the outtakes- seen in most of his films, a major turn on- be added at the end just because he is starring. Instead of featuring in expendables whatever, let him and Tucker team up and dish out Rushhour 4

Most cockroaches that die upside down are the ones killed by insecticides. Something tells me that these insecticides work by blocking the holes in their abdomens, called spiracles. In a bid to 'draw' more air (surface area) as they tussle for life with the insecticide, they overturn themselves, then they die in that position.

Nice to see that you are healing. But after all said and done, what is next on your spiritual life

When people get cured of this ebola can they ever fall ill again to it (present strain), or are they forever above this in particular

BabaGnoni: Whatever floats your boat, zebra calling donkey horse, whatever that means
Listen to yourself, after all your:
"This should lead you to know that acts of temptation should not emerge from wherever godly people are,
because the Lord is in us, be it in the church, school, house, place of work et c.
But since God has spoken of His not being responsible for our temptations, does it mean that christians are not tempted, and who tempts them? Christians should not tempt themselves!"

I am glad to know "His eyes suddenly got 'opened.' Like my guy says, the pastor has started finding his moment of truth."
The Lord is his strength and he can take solace in earlier offered James 1:12 NLT, James 1:12 KJ Bible and James 1:12 ISV

You win; and the pastor gets to carry out his new directive. Furthermore, I listened to myself and still found out you don't want to accept... Have a wonderful day!

BabaGnoni: Pot calling a kettle black
It is you with your knee jerk responses, who does not want to understand previous post(s)
Whether "Many are called, few are chosen" or "many have come, few are chosen" is besides the point
Even "Not everyone who calls himself a christian is really a christian" is irrelevant
Where did you read anywhere on the thread that it is about "christians" behaving badly, supposedly that is.
Also where on the thread did you read anyone complain "about the world, the world going upside down" prompting you advice to forget?

As previously mentioned:
No, the use of mini-skirts and high-heeled shoes should not be abolished in Nigerian churches.
The neck is more the reason, each has one, to turn head elsewhere with, in order to look away or not look at all.

You use the head, with of the help of the neck, to look elsewhere, like done when outside "House of the Rock"

The temptations in "House of the Rock" your life are no different from what others experience.
And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand.
When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.
1 Corinthians 10:13 - NLT

It has not reached to the extent of zebra calling donkey horse! Sometimes we may think we are swimming in the water when we are actually drowning. Take the pastor, for example. This new restriction was not with his church in the beginning. It could have been as a result of the excessive display of fashion in his church. Whatever, his eyes suddenly got 'opened.' Like my guy says, the pastor has started finding his moment of truth.

BabaGnoni: If temptation can happen in Jesus' inner caucus,
I wonder what is so special inside "House of the Rock"
and that makes it different to Christians outside,
Christians going about their daily activities with "distracting mini-skirts" and "high heels shoes" here and there, all over the place.
Abolish mini-skirts" and "high heels shoes" outside too? So Christians shouldn't be tempted? SMH

You do err because you do not properly know the scriptures you've partially referenced:
and where did you read "Christians are doing the tempting" - by your fruit, we shall know you

¹³And remember, when you are being tempted,
do not say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else.
¹⁴Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.
- James 1:13-14 NLT

I believe you do not want to understand my previous post.

Many are called, few are chosen; 'many have come, few are chosen.' Not everyone who calls himself a christian is really a christian. Remember the 'narrow' road and the spirit leading the times we are in. Forget about the world the world going upside down, there are qualities christians should display.

BabaGnoni: Some "churches" are worse than clubs
- these adjectives do not necessarily apply to this "church"
but most "churches" are hypocrites and a den of thieves

The church is not the physical building
Making a mountain out of a molehill is the joke
I bet King David too would have loved to abolish bathing after the Bathsheba incident

What happens to your church, (i.e. as in yourself as part of the body of Christ) when mini-skirts walks past or approaches it
Or you've abolished every walking by mini-skirts in vicinity of it

You don't need an abolish sledgehammer to crack a nut
The mini-skirts or high heels probably turned up at the spur of the moment or at a last minute notice
Give good teachings and explanations, then if not immediately, with time, conformity will follow

By their fruits, you shall know them. Our Lord says He does not tempt people -- that is, in every meaning of the word tempt. This should lead you to know that acts of temptation should not emerge from christians wherever they are, because the Lord is in us, be it in the church, school, house, place of work et c. But since God has spoken of His not being responsible for our temptations, does it mean that christians are not tempted, and who tempts them? Christians should not tempt themselves!

I would rather you invested your energy into using the resources around you help yourself and the people around you. With what you posted or joked on up there, you should know that everybody will not be saved.

TheBigUrban2: Do you have any experience with Japan?


Atheism is simply the disbelief in god. A nontheist is an atheist.


Many Asians, especially the Japanese, Chinese and South Koreans, follow their ancestral religions out of tradition not belief.

An atheist can burn incense, pray at ancestors' graves etc but he or she will still be an atheist if there is no belief in God.

If an atheist does all these things and still believes he is 'unstained,' then I agree with Alfaseltzer. Atheists are confused; and satan is w(inning)atching...

TheBigUrban2: Are you saying that we should ignore the fact that in advanced countries there are many irreligious people because there are numerous religious people in backwards countries (which are generally)

China is the most populous country in the world with over a billion people. Majority of them are atheists....so, it would do you well to rethink how pale atheism is in global terms

Even though the Bible rightly pointed this out as one of the signs of the Last days, I still maintain that the number of smart people who believe in (a) God will still be higher than the smart atheists.

Most times when I look at lower animals, I wonder why they got to do almost everything we do, yet they may not be judged. The knowledge of good and evil might be taken away in the new world, because it was the thing that caused the problem in the first place.

Rendezvou: None of your highly advanced countries is a world power. What of US, France, Germany, China, Japan, Russia, UK etc. These are the countries that make things happen in our world today.

A chinese buddhist would couple electronics and fabricate mechanical gadgets while a Nigerian atheist would only argue. So who is smarter?

I was about to reply u and saw this post.
Scientific journals are not also free from error. If there should be a global census on this, u will find out that those who do not believe in (a) Supernatural being pale into insignificance.

When did you conduct such a poll? Mankind has always been known to take the easier, simpler way out, but that does not make ur assertion credible. And life is full of mystery that ordinary logic or smartness alone cannot solve.

I have written two posts on this topic and none came out. Whatta happening?

Demain_man: I hate seeing fake miracles as a marketing tool on Television, it gives bad name to christianity and christians and will ultimately lead to questions like this one by the OP. My waking up everyday is enough miracle for me!

For you to say there are fake miracles means there are REAL miracles as well. There are so many things one needs to do to qualify for a miracle: belief, faith et cetera. Just as God decides who to bless with a gift, He decides who to give or administer it on.

Demain_man: There is nothing wrong with doubting. Thomas was not condemned to hell for doubting instead Jesus showed him proof beyond reasonable doubt and he consequently believed.

Christianity is all about Belief and Faith. You know, doubting is evil. How did you know that Thomas did not believe? What is stopping you from doubting so that Christ will as well reveal his wounds to you?!
Endurance is another virtue most christians need to embrace. For example, people were dying during Christ's temporal stay on Earth. He did not go waking everybody up. Christians are blessed with different gifts so we should not center ourselves on miracles only.

Demain_man: When? What is holding it?

Why then do the 'god of men' always go on an on and on about miracles they can do to deceive people? Why can't they just preach salvation only and remove all those 'wash, wash' from their TV broadcast?

Do you know how many have been deceived into untimely death because of their belief in miracles just because their pastor gave them false hope?

Did you read my post and still ask me questions? Okay, we know that satan presently acts passively, or behind the curtain. When the time comes, satan will come out to be seen with great signs and wonder; he will come out active.
You should focus more on serving the LORD with all your heart rather than running after miracles. Life in Christ in our present world is not all happiness and joy.

The goal of being a christian is to be saved. Miracles and others are just secondary. Salvation will give you a chance to be in God's new world, where no resident will say I am sick. All the troubles of the present world will disappear. Why do we keep on wanting to have a GREAT sign to cement our reverence for God?
Now there is a big difference between miracles and magic. God has blessed mankind with the gift of using his brain to 'keep' the world spinning. These (your question) are the kinds of 'miracle' that will follow the days of the reign of the anti-christ, for satan will come out blazing with miracles and wonders. Then the sign-wanters will have enough to choose whom they want to serve, but it will be too late. Either they already have the mark of the beast or they are living a painful christian life during the period.
You want new limbs growing out for those who had theirs amputated. Satan also has power, but there is nothing impossible for our Creator, sign-wanting generation. These kind of miracles will surely come to pass.
