Its okay,
Its alright,
Its all good,
Its all fine.

Gulder is originally Spanish.

There's also one in Ibadan that looks like it.

naijalander:
Does this actually make any sense to you ?

Thought u were all knowing.

Sort it out.

TayserMahiri:

I[b] couldnt understand anything he was saying[/b].

Here is my observation, Nigerians made their English in a way that it is intelligible to the uneducated. I imagine even people who havent entered a classroom speak like this?

Good confession! You don't need to. Just watch the pictures since your brain can only decipher the british accent. Come to think of it, the British also have different accents. I guess you wouldn't mind telling the Irish that they sound like drunken lots when u hear them speak.

Last M o r o n!

TayserMahiri:
Its really immaturish. If my dad spoke like that to me I might smite him!
It kinda sounds like begging or something along those lines. Cant even find the correct words to describe that kind of talk.

You reason immaturely my nigger!

TayserMahiri:
So what did they rank in the sexiest accent ranking? You cannot judge yourselves, you have to sit there and wait for people who are outside your bubble tell you how you speak GENERALLY. Those subtle differences you perceive are imperceptible to us out here.

That's the more reason you needs to shut up, listen and learn from us!

...a strong indication most Nigerians (no matter the ethnicity) aren't pushovers. We are ourselves original not wannabes or trying to please the white like Kenyans.
You talk about accent. Ever heard the French, Afro-American, Dutch, Chinese, Arabian accent when they speak English? What's it about the Nigerian accent when conversing in English? Aaaaaaarggh! Get lost kenyans! U guys sound inferior!

Obi1kenobi:
That would be because you don't know much about the country. A Kano indigene speaks English very differently from an Ibadan indigene who speaks very differently from an Onitsha indigene. Even if the English is grammatically correct, there is a phonological interference rooted from your mother tongue. At least, among the 3 major tribes, it's easy to identify where one is from just from how they speak English. Of course, if you stay long enough in a very cosmopolitan city like Lagos, you acquire something of a "neutral" accent regardless of what tribe you're originally from. Perhaps, listening to too many Lagosians through Nigerian movies or whatever might give you the impression we all speak alike which is utterly false.

Taysermahiri thinks he knows... a confident ignoramus he is. How come something as simple as that evades his knowledge?
By the way; when we Nigerians care to think about Kenya, what comes to our mind is the wildebeests, lions, hyenas, crocodiles etc before their people (usually in the skinny/frail look).
Imagine! Kenya! Rubbbbish!

If Nairaland was a joint or spot, we would have been rounded up by the Nigerian police by now.




























But I would have scaled the fence!

Throwback:
This guy reasons like a moro.n at times that I wonder if he is educated?

His he so daft that he does not understand the whole package that comes with kit sponsorship?

Does he think kit sponsorship is just tailoring of jersey that will be handled by a firmless entity?

I didn't know that Aba Tailors is now a name of a kit sponsorship firm.

Maybe he should tell us how much of Aba Tailors sport kit have been sold internationally before and what international outlets Aba Tailors Inc. have established globally to generate his delusional $100m.

Even Enyimba FC of Aba does not use Aba Tailors as a sport kit sponsor, because they understand what the business of sport kit sponsorship entails.

Sometimes it pays to eschew irrelevant populism for true common sense.

I had always thought this dude was presidential material, but he has proven tirelessly to be as clueless as his fellow Bayelsaman Jonathan.

I guess you da slowpoke at last! He's statement could be likened to a metaphor. He is only saying we should look inwards. Think! If you can't understand where he is getting at then say so instead of spewing trash!

Why was Joseph (earthly father of Jesus) troubled at the news of his "betrothed's" (Mary's) pregnancy? If the Jewish custom do not frown against pregnancy even before marriage in the case of betrothals, then Joseph should not have been worried.

MrsNwaAmaikpe:


thank God for mother and child......

the child was especially fortunate that fire razed other parts of the mother's upper body but spared the mammary glands....

the bobby was fire-proof...what a miracle!!

Why do u say this? You find joy in other peoples misfortune. Its unfortunate. How would u feel if you were present when the young mother reads this?

And come to think of it; u are a female.

He only catches southerners.

Can't he get the marauding Fulani militias?

Nonsence!

What's the gain?

ssuccess:
What If he goes to Senate and calls our Senators lazy?

Hmmmm... That's worth thinking about. I think the legislative Chambers have to consider that before "ordering" sorry inviting him.

Riofidelio:
Let us sing Jehovah's praise with courage! Because HE has revealed the secret of Satan to those who are willing to be free from Satan's bondage. They're all agitating against Jehovah and HIS witnesses because Satan has kept them in the dark so they're seeing brightly God's Holy mountain but they can't come because of the obstinate stupidity in their hearts! Psalms 24:2-6. Micah 4:1-3 Says Jehovah's mountain will be lifted above all yet they don't understand why Jehovah's witnesses are widely known for our confidence whereas they're agitating while hiding in the dark with their false gods!

Daddy freeze is a new stumbling block to thier dogmas. I watched a clip in his Instagram page where pastor Ibiyeomie spoke of sowing seed for cessation of generational curses.

Guess what the seed is?

Hairyrapunzel:
What's your business with my denomination and how I choose to present myself on nairaland?

And what's your business with mine?!

You are not proud to state your denomination because you are very well aware that it is nothing to be proud of!

You are not only ashamed but doubt its teaching.

brocab:
Isaiah 43 belongs to the JW's you say! And you don't know the nameless Church?

When Jesus established His Church, He received instructions from Heavenly Father. He then instructed His disciples. Jesus taught His followers that revelation from God was the rock on which He would build His Church. Christ built His Church on the Word of God. I told you my Church is with other believers who totally focuses on the Word of God. I am the temple of the Holy Spirit and My Church is wherever I maybe!

{Isaiah 43:10} But God said: go and preach His gospel-He never told you to call yourselves JW's and preach your own doctrine.
{1 John 2:4-5} If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him: Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.…
And if you were really honest-and if the Holy Spirit was in your temple-He would convict you, with the crimes the Watchtower have caused many to fall away from the truth: the JW's have added and removed the scriptures, as, it is written in the Word of God!

And you say you don't hide behind a name, then explain why you said this below?

In the Hebrew Scriptures, the name of God is recorded as YHWH. So, where did the name “Jehovah” come from? Ancient Hebrew did not use vowels in its written form. The vowels were pronounced in spoken Hebrew but were not recorded in written Hebrew. The appropriate vowel sounds of words were passed down orally. As a result, when ancient Hebrew is studied, scholars and linguists often do not know with absolute confidence how certain Hebrew words were pronounced. This particularly becomes an issue when studying the Hebrew name of God, written in the Hebrew Scriptures as YHWH, also known as the tetragrammaton. Despite much study and debate, it is still not universally agreed upon how the Hebrew name for God YHWH was pronounced. Some prefer “Yahweh” (YAH-way); others prefer “Yehowah,” “Yahuweh,” or “Yahawah”; still others argue for “Jehovah.”
In conclusion, it is highly unlikely that “Jehovah” is the correct pronunciation of YHWH. Further, it is far more important to know God through faith in Jesus Christ, than it is to know the correct pronunciation of His name in Hebrew.

So without the name, {Isaiah 43:10} Answers it quite well.

What is the correct pronunciation of the name of God's Son? Is it Jesus, Iesous, Joshua or Yeshua? Why the variation? If vowels weren't used in the ancient Hebrew writings, why do we have the vowels "e" and "u" in His name instead of "o" and "a".

By the way, this shows that u already are aware that Jehovah refers to no one else but the Almighty.

What is important is knowing that wherever the name or names are called, we all know who it is being referred to.

For your information Jehovah or Yehovah is universally known and accepted in this modern age.

Hairyrapunzel:
Is that what those 8 men in new York told you?
They told you this just to scare you from being born again. So you will only see them as the ones who have right to be: called born again, receive fruit of the sprit, filled with the holy spirit and called sons of God.

They just want to keep controlling you. It's evil to tell people that God has two classes of followers.

What do Christ mean when He says, let your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven?

brocab:
Seek and you will find, knock and it will be open-ask and it will be given-my Church is with other believers who totally focuses on the Word of God. I am the temple of the Holy Spirit and My Church is wherever I maybe!
No denomination, If I was to give you any name-you would search the net, to find fault within, but I don't have a name-the apostles didn't carry a name-nor do I need a name, Jesus said: don't cast your peals before swine-I am sure you understand this verse?
Let us pray for you..

We are what Jehovah asked US to be (Isaiah 43:10). It is a name that has a task associated with it. And it is with this name WE are known.
I don't know ur nameless "movement" and i believe many do not also. One major reason we don't is because your discipleship task is null and redundant. The early Christians were known as and called "Christians". They never chose to be called that but they adopted it cos it was okay for them (and the meaning was synonymous with their actions). We choose to be called Jehovah's Witnesses because God said we should be.
We don't hide behind the " temple" description u gave even as we are temples individually; the acts of the apostles were evidently seen by many as they carried out the mandate commanded them by Christ which we also adhere to. It is because of our boldness to do this mandate that u are opportune to find faults. Despite these your findings or claims on US we don't hide.
Even if you don't have a name, tell me your deeds, where you hold your meetings for worship with like minded individuals.

brocab:
Let us pray for you!

Likewise you (state ur denomination). Easy to criticize hiding behind the "annonimity" provided by the internet/nairaland.

Are u not confident of your church?

BE PROUD OF WHERE U WORSHIP!
STATE ITS NAME!!!

To them... Born again is "simply" those who come forward when an alter call is made for repentance. Usually these persons (that come forward) may be asked to do so while the eyes of others (the congregants) are requested to be shut so the Repenter don't feel ashamed.
The Repenter is then asked to repeat after me, (me is actually the pastor)... And then, the Repenter is declared born again. After that, the Repenter is told to wait after service to see the pastor.

Unless they've changed their style now.

Hairyrapunzel...if you are bold or believe in what u say, why not tell us the name of your denomination & pls don't tell us the excuse of "I don't need to belong to any".
This forum provides enough avenue for u to hide your identity (your monicker, no picture etc), why get ashamed of stating the name of your denomination so we could understand where u coming from.

Be bold, be proud of your denomination, say it like u mean it!

We rejected most of your teachings even before you knew about us.
So Jesus is no longer God's Son? What type of belief do you guys dwell in?!!!
Its a good thing you are aware of what the 144,000 is all about in accordance with our teaching which is the bibles'.
Kindly tell us your own understanding on what the 144,000 stands for in cognizance of the prayer; "let your kingdom come, let your will be done here on earth as it is in Heaven".
You aren't qualified to qualify any group as Christian because your knowledge about Christianity is just a "surface" knowledge!

brocab:
So you believe we have the same bible knowledge with the JW's, think again? I assure you we don't line up with each other..
Jehovah’s Witnesses (hereafter JWs) consider themselves to be Christians (but not Protestants), even though they reject the doctrine of the Trinity. JWs claim that Jesus was not divine and that the Holy Spirit is an “active force” and not a person.
JWs believe that Jesus is God's only direct creation, “the firstborn of all creation” and therefore rightly entitled to be called the “son of God.” However, they believe that as a created being “he is not part of a Trinity.”
JWs believe that the kingdom of God is a real government in heaven that will soon replace human governments and accomplish God’s purpose for the earth. They believe that Jesus is the King of God’s kingdom in heaven and that he began ruling in 1914.
A relatively small number of people—144,000—will be resurrected to live with Jehovah in heaven and rule with Jesus in the kingdom.
So claiming: the JW's line up with bible Christians, you are barking up the wrong tree..

Hairyrapunzel:
Your founder broke out from seventh day adventist and created his doomsday cult which after his death had different ever changing beliefs from him.

Remove the log in your eye before removing the spec in others eyes.

Likewise apostle Paul. He broke away from the Pharisee teaching. Before that, He was a persecutor (he hunted Christians to be persecuted or/and killed).

God favoured Jacob (whose ways were cunning) over Esau. He favoured David (an adulterer and 2nd degree murderer) over Saul whose fault was sparing some items instead of destroying them.

Mathew the apostle was a Tax collector (and u know what that means).

Moses committed murder and yet he was chosen to be a great leader.

Peter denied Christ, yet he became a great apostle.

Do you think the way God does? Can you choose for Him?

Hairyrapunzel:
You believe in your gb.

Who in turn believes in Christ.

Hairyrapunzel:

We believe in Christ all the same; we never said we don't. That's why we go out preaching.
Maybe you should also go out preaching too. You think many shares your views $ belief. You'll be surprised at what you encounter.

brocab:
Because xaggar: is now one of your groupies, don't let this go to your head, everything you think you are teaching, doesn't line up with anything we have said.
If you are really seeking after Knowledge try believing in Christ first.

If you really believe this is true, then "Why" are you refusing the Word of God, why are fighting against it.
{I will tell you "Why" because you don't believe the Word of God is rightfully God's Word}

I use AutoCAD but not the 3d aspect of it (cos i don't know how to) and I use chief architect software also. Makes my drawing in 3d far too easy!

Brocab my guy!
You are just finding it difficult to accept the truth. But its a good thing you are asking these question. In your attempt to ridicule and discourage some, you are creating the opportunity for persons like me to Learn more and be strengthened by the TRUTH!

Deep down in you, you know riofidelio has met ur questions with very solid Scriptural backing. Its a good thing if you accept them even if not here on this forum.

brocab:
This is why we need to be saved in Christ-and accept the Holy Spirit to guild us through all His teachings.

{John 14:25-26} All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.
Matter of fact, maybe you don't like the believers using the word trinity, which means, three persons of the Christian Godhead; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Then you have a problem, and I suppose the only way you need to solve this problem, is get down on your knee's and repent to the Lord, asking Him to forgive you, and free you from your sinful state of mind rejecting the Word of God.
{John 17:20-23} “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
But since the JW's don't believe in the Spirit-then your teachings could only be mumble jumble Watchtower rubbish, that of course couldn't possibly have been led by the Godhead to even think, the JW's have anything to do with God in the first place, but only on the lines of being a cult, "Yes this-I could believe..
