What is this rubbish? E no go better for this Okowa guy

You mean e no go better for u.

Solomon of the scripture acquired wealth through God's making.
Christ Jesus required of us to live modestly. (1st Timothy 6:

Difference between both of them is;

1. Solomon ended up saying all is vanity upon vanity.
2. Christ said its easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven.

Think about it.

hah! You never jam .. Those Ezzaa women from Ebonyi are the strongest set of women I've selen in my life.

In fact! U are super correct! I served (nysc) in ebonyi state year 2003 and saw them myself. They work in quarries!

VocalWalls:
Hmmm

Imagine, how can this happen in a UNIVERSITY of SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY.

The lecturers should be ashamed of themselves, even if the students were dumb, how could the lecturers not know an exposed fire extinguisher would be a hazard and thus making that area an unsafe environment?

What a shame.

Just imagine! Science and Technology my arse! That victim should sue the paints off that school!

Its human worship unknowingly.

A pity!

N1.5 to N3m at depending at the area in Okpanam (next town to Asaba, largely undeveloped). For already habitable areas, its within N3m and above. Within Asaba it is N15m and above. Asaba-Okwe-Achalla ibusa environs its N1.2m and above. All in Delta state.
After that the Ego di no oshia people (omonile) will still ask for development levy and co.

Eboe is actually, the Anglicized pronunciation for the word Ibo or Igbo.

He was from the Igbo Tribe

Student125:
I can remember some f**ls say leave davido alone, d guy(tagbo) killed himself by taking too much alcohol but now it has been discovered he died of suffocation. Most Nigerian youth are too lazy to think. Now they are sentimental with the glaring facts.

The suffocation could also be as a result of excessive drinking (choking on his drink, especially when drunk).
You are extremely lazy in your quest for knowledge. You think suffocation is only as a result of being gagged.

Truth is, What does dbanj sing these days anyway? Trashbeatz should be his record label. He is no longer relevant or in the game.

The Century's Lie!

darkid1:
Before I proceed to explain thing to you , with the hope that you put tribalism aside and put on your thinking and reasoning hat. I am not yoruba, not even close, probably more eastern than you.

Here are some dramas that Hubert did in his time Muritala Mohamed (1976)
Oree Niwon (1976)
Nigeria (1977)
Igba t' ode (1977)
Orisa N'la (1977)


And here are the films he did
Aiye (1980)
Jaiyesimi (1981)
Aropin (1982)
Ayanmo (1988)

Which earned him recognition from BBC
Man of the Theatre - BBC (1983)


Here is a link to wikipedia if you wish to know more

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubert_Ogunde


As for the very ignorant fellow up there that said people could not go to cinemas to watch Hubert Ogunde's movies, I would let you know that cinemas in lagos , like pen cinemas back in day , as I was told by my grand parents were packed full of people eager to watch.

There is no helping you people, you would rather choose tribalism than the truth , even if its glaring...

Any other non meaningful quote , i wouldn't reply .

Was nollywood existing as a brand name for Nigerian movies back then? Those were just under the Nigerian film industry not nollywood.

Just because living in bondage wasn't a Yoruba movie you are quick to say it wasn't the forerunner of the nollywood movies we have today.

Go to northern Nigeria and mention living in bondage then add any of those "strange" names you have up there and see which was really recognised as a nollywood movie.

Stop trying to shift the hands of the clock.

Nedsnow:
So to you now, Nollywood means home video. . You be professional fool i swear. Ayelala is on your case.

Ode oshi! Read this below.

Definition of which films are considered Nollywood has always been a subject of debate. Alex Eyengho defined Nollywood as "the totality of activities taking place in the Nigerian film industry, be it in English, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, Itsekiri, Edo, Efik, Ijaw, Urhobo or any other of the over 300 Nigerian languages". He further stated that "the historical trajectory of Nollywood started since the pre and post independent Nigeria, with the theatrical (stage) and cinematic (celluloid)) efforts of the likes of Chief Hubert Ogunde, Chief Amata, Baba Sala, Ade Love, Eddie Ugboma and a few others"

Another copy and paste slowpoke!

Now who is Alex Eyengho that we should accept his definition?

freshdude99:
Cut the long story short bro, home video is not theatre stage play or opera. Why don't you guys just give credit to these young igbo guys that brought us these far with their ingenuity. I hate tribalism from Yoruba people

I wonder how many Nigerians have vhs tapes, video CDs or DVD discs of those baba sala, Herbert ogunde dramas he claim were commercial movies and beginning of nollywood?

Nollywood is not the same words as the pre-1990 Nigerian movie industry.

They are close but not really the same.

Businessideas:
You see.That is the problem with you young ones,lack of humility.
I just mentioned and listed films that are Nigerian films even with national popularity and you can easily and humbly read about them online.
There are films like Block busters like Aiye by Hubert Ogunde Group,Taxi Driver by Ade Love the father of the popular Afolayan brothers, Duro Ladipo group that were the awada kerikeri group, Baba Sala with that film he was shown committing suicide in a train track and so many other films of Nigerian actors and theater you may be too young to know and can easily read on.
Nollywood never started with living in bondage and it is pure ignorance to say that publicly.
The English-Igbo genre of Nigerian films came to the table very very very late and that's why it lacked depth like the preexisting genre of Nigerian films led by the Hubert Ogunde et al.
I just corrected and educated you with love

When was the word nollywood coined?

Those ancient movies you mentioned weren't nollywood movies. Those were just Nigerian movies and not nollywood.

Go check the history of nollywood and find out why and when it came into existence.

Stop mentioning fadeyi oloro and co. Even today's Yoruba movies aren't really called nollywood. Argue that!

Fall sick.
Run back to UK.

Nigerian's do things to the extreme.

Even on this forum hate speech is "glorified".

NBC carry on If it will put sense to the heads of citizens of this shithole!

Hairyrapunzel:
Children and newborn make the choice to refuse blood transfusion right?
Members are cautioned by disfellowshipping them or treating them as bad association.
The decision my dear is not in their hands.
Blood transfusion doesn't contravene any of God's laws or are you talking of the law made by Nathan knorr in 1945? Except Nathan knorr is now God in your eyes.

A God that you say is love, creator, is good will say life is sacred and blood is a symbol of life then will take a symbol over what it actually represents. I think your jehovah loves murder.

Life is sacred yet a medical procedure used to save life itself isn't allowed why? Because an illiterate psychopath said accepting blood transfusion goes contrary to God's laws.
You people worship Human beings

Defend this argument with the use of the scriptures let me see.

I'll start by saying abstain from blood is clear in its entirety. I believe to abstain from blood isn't just about not eating blood but also covers for medical purposes.

Penalty82:
I didn't say that any form of blood or animal sacrifice is biblical Pls mind you. I only say back to sender.

Psalms 35:1
Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me:
fight against them that fight against me.

Now, when you call upon God to fight against them (enemies) that fight against you,

and I say, God let those that that wish me evil receive their evil.

Two of us are calling on God to pay our perceived enemies in their own coin.

My dear all na back to sender prayers.

Definitely not the same.

Your back to sender pray is like a wishful prayer: I.e asking the same fate fall upon ur adversaries.

Asking God to fight ur battle is leaving vengeance to God.

Back to sender is simply used as an incantation in the "African church".

E get wetin una no dey chop?

Okay, good bye. I don't indulge urchins.

Taking off?

Peacefullove:
take back my statement, why ?

is it not true that The verse never said Hades is divided into two compartments . So if you say otherwise, isn't that a Lie ?

Prove you ain't lying by showing me where it says Hades is divided into two compartments. the onus is on you to prove your innocence and if genuine I will retract . Prove first !!!!

Chai! Chai! Chai!
Peacefullove take am easy biko!

Peacefullove:
I read the Op, but to be serious the writer is an Ex member . So am not suprised at the Twisted article.

I can't stop laughing when he based his entire topic on the fact that these people don't belive in hell , so Suicide is allowed , really ?

From my research, They see Suicide as the same as murder, yet their bible correctly said any murderer will not inherit Gods kingdom. what else ? a foolish jw must have killed himself then , Dont forget killing yourself will mean no paradise.

But mr writer present it as if suicide is a normal thing with no sanctions. infact according to him Suicide to a witness means gateway to Paradise , How could that be if they also belive suicide is murder and murderer's won't inherit God's kingdom ?

He also say this and I quote

" To a Withness having
droughts about his faith, suicide makes perfect
sense. He may reason: “If this organization is a
scam I would rather be dead then live because I
have already invested years of my life; if it is the
true religion I will be raised from the dead and live
in a perfect world”. Suicide for the long time
member has a large upside but no down side."

Can a person who has doubts or droughts about his faith be properly Recognized with the witnesses ? Doesn't such one see the religion as a scam already, so are they still one of them ?

this is why I said Ex members of this group tend to be biased in their writings .

Thank you for your explanation. You need one bottle of "beer" (alcoholic? They'll soon start crying about my choice).

Peacefullove:
You don't discuss with atheist, didnt your Bible says its the will of God that all sort of people be saved ?

Modern christianity is a joke



that means nobody go to heaven when they die . we are gradually getting there .



you are trying to prove smart

Smiling, again what is Abraham Bosom ? if I say Shadeyinka bosom , what do I mean?



Confuse fellow, calm down Pastor

it says in 1 Pet 3 vs 18

being put to death in the flesh, but made alive
in the spirit;

what does it mean to be made alive in the bible ? Resurrected!
So he didn't operate a ghost mode, he died and didn't do anything until he was made alive 3 days after



that is a lie, that peter said the spirits in prison are those disobedient in the days of Noah NOT every evil people.

Does it mean all evil people don't go to the same place as taught in Christianity ?

clearly some are isolated from another .

You also said Angels are spirit being, could this be reffering to Angels of Noah's day in the bible ?

Solve this. because if those spirits are humans according to you it means not all evil people go to the same place . a blow to church teaching



pastor so dead = Carcass , then when your Bible said the dead stand at the throne of God , it means ordinary carcass stand at the throne of God ?

Peaceful love finish him and them pls!

shadeyinka:
I only discussed scriptures with you because I assumed you were JW. I don't usually discuss scriptures with atheists.

However, I'll be very brief to make an exception.

Question1:
The Kingdom of God (in context) is after resurrection else, there is no need of resurrection of the dead.

Question 2:
Same as question 1.
The righteous are in a special place (called Abraham's bosom). Which means, the place where Abraham is!


1 Peter 3:18–19 says,
“Christ also suffered once for sins, the ri The word spirit refers to Christ’s spirit. The contrast is between His flesh and spirit, and not between Christ’s flesh and the Holy Spirit. Christ’s flesh died, but His spirit remained alive.


The Evil also have their place HeHell ESV calls it a prison. Not the Lake of Fire!)

Ps115:17
Refers to the Carcass or Corpse

Understand scriptures in context

You are a deceiver and liar! My God!

Non acceptance of Blood transfusion is not forced upon members, rather each member is taught not to accept because it contravenes God's law on the issue.

The decision is left for each member to decide based on his/her level of faith.

Members who succumb to accepting it as treatment are only cautioned and asked to build their faith on God. You are expected to live by what u teach.

It must be the ozubulu killers.

Now this is how sisters should look.
Pretty girls.

Your family is endowed with beauties.
