Na lie.

Me na Catholic too.

Communion tags are kept at the back or exit of the church such that communicants can pick it up when they enter the church assuming they want to receive the holy communion that day

You want to tell me that the communion tag is better positioned in the front such that anyone who wants to commune will have to come to the front and by so doing disturb/distract others while the sermon may be going on?

No way.

That basket there in the front serves only but one purpose.

Just wait for...

The offering time!

Maybe it is for offering. Which is part of the mass.

Even in Rome, the offering rite has to be carried out at every mass.
The catch in the Catholic church is that no one forces you to stand up and go for offering.
You're even encouraged to squeeze you hand so no one knows what you plan to give as offering.

You can plant your butt firmly on your seat and not move. No one's gonna force you or question you as to why you didn't give.

You may be right though. These are clear explanations. You saw it as a movie, very fine. But you mention inferiority complex and that's where I have a problem. Don't be shallow minded. Read the Black Panther comic book and you'll realize it's laced with racism and political issues and had to discontinue at a point. In the movie, there were some jibes at the white people. But of course, I'm making excuses. The black director wrote the script abi? Open your eyes!

My eyes are open. I used them to see the movie. I have no buisness with the comics, I'm not a fan of it, I'm more interested in the movie. Besides the comics were written years ago

Do yourself a favor. Read the comments on the movie (even by the whites) and decide for yourself. To you it was a movie. To people who have experienced exact things, it wasn't one. Celebrate a great black civilization? Smh!

Already read the comments, fortunately I saw the movie not because of other people's comments I watched it because I wanted to see my race not portrayed as slaves, drug dealers or criminals. But as a seat of black civilization.

BushWickBill:
Sir,
I owe you something for this.

See how he decided to spin the events in his own narrative, till you set the story straight?

Do you see that apart from this idea of "black is being made to be seen as inferior", he has a projection problem?

Thank you for this brilliant expose.

Lol. I'm a lady

He even missed an important quote from Killmonger

"bury me in the ocean with my ancestors that jumped from the ships. Because they knew death was better than bondage."

This is a quote that should have "touched" the Op's Black American friends

kunnadej:
They tried to tell us that we Africans are the major cause of our problems and that's why we remain where we are. Internal crisis, lust for power and lack of unity. Let me explain.
1. When the Black Panther was to be crowned king, he was objected by the leader of another tribe who accused him of being weak. The Black Panther had to fight that leader - even though he was the rightful heir to the throne. (Internal crisis and lust for power)

There's no rightful heir to the throne in Wakanda. Tradition has it that any child of the reigning king can contest for the throne, even Princess Shuri. The Leader of Jabari tribe M'Baku had every right to do so. Only the most powerful can rule, T'Challa had to prove himself.

This has nothing to do with internal lust for power. Even Shakespearean stories upheld this rule.

2. Just when I thought the white guy (the thief) was going to be the 'bad guy', I quickly realized that it was a black american, who felt he had been wrongly treated and his father murdered by his uncle (the king) and worked so hard so that he wanted to rule (Another show of internal crisis, greed and lust for power). Now this is the most important. This scene just mirrored what the black americans think of us in real life. Trust me, I have talked with a lot of them. They believe they are smarter, better and are supposed to rule Africa. The seed of hatred is being planted in their minds from school.

It wasn't a Black American who turned out to be the villain. It was a person with royal blood in his veins. A Wakandan prince. He had legitimate ties to the throne. Yes he was wrongly treated, found his father dead, never got to see his native land. A land he felt he was capable of ruling. Is there anything wrong with him being the villain?
Is this the first movie ever made that a jealous relative is out for blood for being wrongly treated?
Don't we see all these kinds of brother vs brother, sister vs sister dispute in white movies?
Why does it have to mean that the whites are trying to tell us something??

3. The very close friend of the King and Protector of the borders turned his back on and attacked the Black Panther when there was a new king. (Another show of disloyalty and lack of unity).

Now what the whites are trying to tell you is this; We are not to be blamed for the woes you face in Africa, you are to be blamed. Which is mostly true but it's all in a bid to perpetually make Africans hate themselves.

W'Kabi didn't turn his back on his king because of disloyalty. He only felt the ideas of T'Challa were archaic. That Wakanda was supposed to use their technological advancements and superiorities to help other African countries, stop world wars, and be a global seat of civilization instead of being a cover-third world country.

This kind of shift in "loyalty" due to differing ideas happens all the time in white movies among friends and even subordinates.

Why should we blow it out of proportion because it's in a Black setting?

Now, another angle to the movie is the fact that there was vibranium (a very rare and technologically advanced substance) in Africa, but the leaders won't share to the rest of the world - which will benefit them economically but rather they masked their resources with abject poverty and continued to make themselves look like a third world country to the whole world . The excuse from the African leaders being that it'll destroy the whole world if the resources are used to make weapons. A show of greed and lack of intelligence if you ask me.

How is it greed that they're looking out for the dangerous use of vibranium? Yes it could advance science but at what cost?
For innocent lives to be lost? For weapons of mass destructions to be created and sold in the streets? Endangering precious lives?

This is what previous kings of Wakanda have always taught their predecessors to avoid. . . .such power should be left and used lowkey. If it were available to every tom, dìck and harry, I guarantee you we'd be on world war 12 by now.

Besides, T'Challa eventually compromised in the post credit scene and opened a Wakandan Outreach center where his uncle died.

Why do you think an average American will die for his country? Simple! Have you watched the U.S Military films. Most of them will make you shed a tear and show you how far the U.S army will go for their citizens. It's a subtle way to tell you how important an American is. This they do through movies.

I don't know about you but I saw a lot of people ready to die for Wakanda to preserve their African roots.
I saw the king compromise and tell the world what Wakanda truly is.

I saw a mother ready to die protecting her son

I saw a sister who fought alongside her brother to save her country

I saw female warriors die protecting their home

I saw a woman who drew her knife against her lover to save her country

I saw a future queen fight to save her homeland

And I saw a king kill his cousin in regret to save his people and the world from such monstrosity.

The whites did very well in taking themselves off the picture in this movie, but I can bet anything on it that it was deliberate. The major threat to the white dominance and supremacy in this world is the total UNITY OF THE BLACK RACE. They know this and they are moving to stop this asap.
So this is why we shouldn't get overly excited about it. It's not an African movie. The producers are all white. We are playing into their hands. They are feeding us the wrong information. Stop the orchestrated dances, attires and African pride and ownership to the movie. They got you where they want to and are making so much money off you. I bet they are all sitting down looking at us and laughing their butts off.

Not taking anything away from the movie, it's a super movie. I think it's one of the best Marvel movies I've watched so far. A lot of people will think it's over-hyped because there weren't many fight scenes as we expected but I can tell you this; this was orchestrated to give you a background story as to why we Africans are the way we are. Nothing less! Be wise!

And Lastly, did you know the director is black? Bet you didn't know that.

And Wesley Snipes was clamouring for a Black Panther movie that didn't follow the original depiction of African heritage in Hollywood as far back as 1992?

Please don't let your inferiority complex see things that aren't there. Let us celebrate the depiction of a geat black civilization in Hollywood.

Hello everyone.

Please I wear alot of wigs cause I rarely have time to style my hair. My hair's always in cornrows, please is there a particular regime I can adopt to aid hair growth and maintain length?

If the girl's father is truly an honorable man and remembers that his baby girl no longer bears his surname but her husband's, he'll be smart and mature enough to tell his son-in-law that he wants to get his daughter a car. He's not asking permission, just informing.

Doing it out of the blue wouldn't be nice.

Genesils:
You must be talking from experience

Yep. Applied for so many on the list. . . . The economy was so against me.
Around 2010-2012 multiple scholarships were given to one student but these days, consider yourself lucky if you've managed to snag one. They award less candidates these days ás they have more apllicants coupled with unstable oil prices (for snepco, agbami, midwestern, seplat, shell, Mobil and total)

lovelygurl:
If your hair is short, part into 3 sections and bond it like in the first picture

If your hair is long, do the pineapple method like in the second picture.

Then cover with a satin cap

Thank you so much

Hello everyone I'm new to the naturalista world.

I currently tried a wash and go using water, leave-in, curl enhancer and Eco stying gel. . . It came out well, my curls popped and all but I'm lost as to how to properly preserve the curls at night so I can rock em tomorrow and how long before I wash all the products off my hair?

Warning; A lot of them will break your heart

Better lyrics than most Nigerian songs today

OboOlora:
All these copy and paste OPs. Obesity in Nigeria? Dude, people are malnourished and underfed and you are calling that obesity. Any body with obesity should be taken to ER, it's a sign of excessive beer consumption, carbohydrate n starch intake and/or kwashiokor especially all those people with small body, big head and big tummy

You can be malnourished and actualy be obese. A lot of Nigerians are underfed and still obese

jonbellion:
marvel also rules the small screen still like luke cage, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D,daredevil etc

Marvel is trying to catch up on the small screen. DC shows have varying theme and are interconnected.
Last fall, you could start off at The Flash, continue the same storyline in Supergirl, move on to Legends of tomorrow the next day and round everything off on Arrow.

Marvel has storylines suited for the big screen (which the trump DC) , when it comes to tv shows, they hardly seem to know what they're doing. They churn out a lot of shows that never last more than a season, two at best.

Marvel rules the big screen; X-men Fantastic Four, Avengers, Guardians of the galaxy etc

Dc rules the small screen; Smallville, Arrow, Flash, Legends of tomorrow etc

Lilimax:
Medical Doctor married to a Medical doctor.
It may be boring though....
On a lighter note,
Medical Doctor + Medical Doctor = Paracetamol

I don't think it's necessary boring. It's just that most medical doctors (including those in training) tend to hang around each other due to their tight schedules. It only makes sense they end up falling for each other. . they have little or no choice especially the females.

ClitoPen:
Take a look at her fourth finger....she a married

No. She's engaged. To a medical doctor.
Her wedding's sometime next year

Congratulations Miss Daisy!
My role model! Class, swag, intelligence, charisma, style you've got it all.

Mr Dafe is so lucky to have you

HAH:
a doctor or a medical student will always show you he is the best, [b]so the question should not be directed at them but people around their field that can easily see from afar, [/b]if you ask a Yoruba student or lecturer he will tell you is very hard in fact no course is harder than it, by the way I left university about 20 years ago I am just whirling here

This has got to be the stupìdest thing I've read on this site all week. No offence.

I wear the shoe, I struggle daily to balance my books, classes and social life. . . .I know the sleepless nights involved, I know how many candles I've burnt all to stay afloat in the medical world and in trying to keep up with all the new information everyday and you're telling me someone "who easily sees from afar" is in a better position to tell me just how difficult and wide my field is?

I think people like you should stay off topics that they are beyond clueless in.

QwinDebbie:
Please I just wanna know.
This issue has been bugging me for some time now.
If there are any medical students here, please your opinion is highly needed.

I've been hearing that medicine is very tough and all that, but being an average student, can I still scale through?
Will it be as easy as it is with top students?
Don't get me wrong, I didn't choose medicine because I wanted to. It's been my dream right from JSS2..
But being at home for 2 years, due to delay in getting admitted, without going to school, little or less study has really depleted what I had back then in secondary school.
I just need advice.
Please there should be no insults.

Thanks.

Baby girl, there are no average students in medicine.

All the average students become un-average and smarter as each day goes by.
If you choose to remain average, you will fail and have to repeat a class or worse, drop out.

Medicine involves a lot of sacrifice. You have to give up a lot if you really truly want to succeed in the field. There's so much to read, learn and memorize.
Everyday, it's like you're bombarded with new information you have to keep when all you were told the day before is fleeting and vague.

The books? God they are so big and numerous and sometimes 24 hours won't seem enough to get through classes, postings at the hospital, insults from consultants and registrars, assignment and even personal reading.

You'll also have to get used to very low scores on the notice board even if you were a high flying student prior to admission. Because no one is ever sure they've passed till the results are pasted.

In summary, an average student can indeed read medicine, but the whole process makes them anything but average eventually. So pursue ot of you've got the spine for it. Goodluck!

HAH:
you are deviating he asked if, an average student can study medicine, I said yes, because medicine is not difficult but the work load is much so what ensures success is perseverance. what it takes to study medicine memorization or cramming

I don't mean to be rude but are you a doctor, or medical student?

HAH:
Yes, medicine from what I heard is not hard [/b]but need a lot of perseverance because of work load and there is lot cramming. [b] There exams back then are also mainly in fill in this blanks

When talking of hard courses talk of a course like Bsc physics

Please from where did you hear that medicine isn't hard?

Who is that person that told you all this?

CEEcey:
I support the organization decision

If you are financially ok, you have no need for boyfriend

Boyfriends are for financial and sexual needs only!!

Stop giving women a bad name please.

I Anticipated this right before the suspension of ASUU Strike..Its so unfortunate that their main issue is related to money.. Has there been any UNIBEN SUG president that was not suspended before his/her elapses?I doubt!

Raymond wasn't

IForgotMyLoginD:
Lol @ epistle. It's fine.

I have teenage sisters, and I don't worry about them. You know why? Cos of the values we grew up with.
I'm a part of the showbiz industry ,and my parents don't worry about me. You know why? Cos they know the girl child they birthed.

[bIt's never about society. It used to be, but not anymore.[/b] Who wan spoil, go spoil. There's been a rise also on Yahoo plus and boys drinking to death, making illegal money and joining kidnap rings....

But like I said, there's also been a rise of young people bettering themselves and breaking boundaries. That the media don't celebrate them don't mean they don't exist.

I'm speaking from experience. The girl child that is taught values will never lose those values, except she wan spoil.

Society is a very funny word ya know.
It's a fancy way of saying "me and you" and until we (society aka me and you) learn to appreciate and glorify hardworking ladies who legitimately work for their money and shun those who have less than glamorous ways of getting theirs, we will unknowingly keep encouraging unsuspecting young girls to abandon whatever values they were taught all for the sake of fame and easy money.

"Just find a rich maga. . . .and you're made baby girl" That is what society has reduced the girl child to.

@Bolded I know such people exist, I see them everyday. But the media needs to show them to the public, show our young girls ideal role models. . . It's gonna go a long way in integrating the girl child into the society as more than just a receptacle for the male organ and a baby machine.
