Fitz22:See attached image. Get your own Bible and read. Do you know that Paul rebuked Peter in the public? How will you know when you don't read your Bible.
|
Fitz22:You're very confused, I gave you Bible quotations to read and you're saying I should pray to understand that. Na alcohol I drank to know about it ![]() Sorry to say this, you're under the bondage Christ's death lifted us from.

Fitz22:Read Galatians chapter 3 and 5. Hebrew chapter 8 and 9. It's either you follow Jesus or you follow Moses. So sad many practice Judaism thinking it's Christianity. |
Fitz22:What Jesus did in the temple. Jesus wasn't telling them what they are use to. He thought them the truth and the way. Forget about Freeze as a person, listen to the message the holy spirit is trying to pass through him. I use to bash him before but one day I decided to listen to him. |
Ahcu22:They just pick the verse that suit them. Christianity in Nigeria is turning to a secret society. |

The Becheve tribe of Obanliku Cross River State comes under the spotlight for a culture which subjects young girls into modern slavery through a tradition called ‘Money Marriage’. Obanliku, a local government situated in North region of Cross River is an eight hours drive from Calabar the State Capital. The Becheve tribe in Obanliku is made up of 17 tribes who practice an age long tradition where young girls are in the exchange of items including food items or debt settlement are given out in “Money Marriage.” Obanliku is full of thick vegetation and mountainous terrain as high as 1576 meters above sea level. Behind the cloudy terrain are the sad tales of the young girls who are stripped of human dignity. They are called ‘Money Woman’ of ‘Money Wife.’ Richards Akonam, a missionary who has spent over 25 years building a strong advocacy against the Money Marriage culture, told Channels Television that relatives of the ‘Money Woman’ freely visit the couple after the ‘marriage’ and enjoys gifts including money. “Apart from the ‘main man’ who gives out the girl into ‘Money Marriage’ the relatives of the girl’s mother are free to go and collect stuff from their ‘in-law’. Anything offered them during their visit is given monetary value and recorded by their in-law (the man who is marrying the girl). “If the mother is the greedy type, she’ll often visit her ‘in-law’ to get stuff,” he said. This practice is sadly carried out without the consent of the girls. They are sold out to clear debts owed by a family relation or debts owed even before her birth. The ‘Money Wife’ most sadly does not benefit from the ‘Money Marriage.’ “While her parents or relatives share money and other gifts given them by the ‘groom’, she is left alone to struggle and find a means of survival. “The girl (money girl) can only benefit if anyone who has gone to collect anything shares with her. This hardly happens. She will be responsible for taking care of herself by farming or otherwise. None of her relatives will buy or give her gifts. She now belongs to another and helping her translates to helping her owner,” Akonam said. Some are the girls are even sold out in marriage before they are born. The GM of Obudu Mountain Resort, David Chris said the girl is eventually given out after the ‘groom’ has made ‘payment.’ “The child is given to a man who pays a certain amount of money. It can be before the child is born. If it is a girl-child, the child is given to the person (groom) after he has made payment that is required by culture,” he said. Most of the girls could hardly express their story as all they could do was cry when being interviewed. Aji Patience whose sister was sold at a tender age of four expressed disapproval at the tradition. “My Sister was four years old when they gave her out for money marriage N2, 000 as at then was given to my uncle in exchange for her. I don’t like the condition,” Patience said. The ‘Money Woman’ practice according to tribes in Becheve is a show of pride as there is almost no family in Becheve that is not without a ‘Money Wife.’ The story, however, gets complicated when the husband dies. When the husband dies, his next-of-kin marries the girl and if she dies without giving birth to children, her parents are obligated to bring a replacement as demanded by the customs. Another victim, Victoria Tabang, who spoke in the local dialect said she has remained helpless since her husband’s death. “I lived with him since I was young but upon his death, I couldn’t do anything. I’m expected to just remain here. Even when I went to my people, they drove me away, saying I now belong elsewhere,” she said. ‘Money Wives’ are not allowed the right to education and in every sale; the girl’s opinion is not sought. She is the breadwinner. Victims of this marriage are sold for as low as N10,000 few goats and pigs, tubers of yam, depending on the man’s bargain power. ‘Money Wives’ are not allowed the right to education and in every sale, the girl’s opinion is not sought. “Money that the man give in my head (sic) was not much. It was N20,000 and one goat,” a victim who was willing to speak, sadly revealed. Once a girl is sold out for Money Marriage, she is considered dead by her immediate family and warned never to return back irrespective of how she is being treated by her husband or his relatives. The wife of the state governor, Linda Ayade, in an interview with Channels Television, said she is shocked by the practice. He assured that efforts will be geared towards ending the culture. The Money Marriage culture of the Obanliku is another clear case of human slavery in the 21st century which needs urgent attention of the government and advocacy group to end the miseries of the victims.

gobuchinny:Seems they are some of our book professors that doesn't know jack other than blow big grammars.Many have eyes but only few can truly see, so ignore them because their brain capacity have a limit. I commend Bishop to an extent because this schools offer quality education, instead of sending kids abroad, let them be within the country where I can easily have access to them, the other way round lifting so much burden on our Forex. The number of kids studying abroad by Nigerian parents is much. Anyone who thinks straight knows that it's a business venture which will generate returns for the owner or organisation, as for now I don't know who the properties are for, if it's in the name of the church or his, whichever one, I don't care. Don't forget, when there's competition, the price will crash. I am a Winner |
