tsdarkside:Sorry but I wasn't born then and it wasn't me who chased her. I am very sure she is back home where she belongs. The war ended years ago and biafrans suffered as much as others or even worse. Stop trying to avenge on people who were also hurt. It doesn't make sense. 1 Like |

But men do worse and nobody has circulated their nudes. Women should start doing the same to cheating husbands. I swear it would be everyday we would see different videos. Even the Bible said do unto others what you have them do to you. If it is to kill them,shoot the useless man as you catch him in bed with another woman. Hypocrisy is bad. 1 Like |

Family / The Joys And Pain Of Motherhood! by Yuji: 12:58am On Sep 06, 2017 |
Today is the saddest day of my life. As a Doctor, I have handled so many pregnant women in Labour and every time am in the delivery room I always pray to God to bless all mothers. The pain women go through in the delivery room is undescribable and this does not include the 9 months they spent carrying the baby. They go through a lot just to bring forth new life. Today I cried bitterly because I lost a woman, we don't pray for things like this to happen but sometimes God may have other plans. Why is this woman's case so painful? She has been barren for 14 years! We have tried IVF & so many method known to man, the woman went through a lot. Finally God blessed her, it was way beyond science and human knowledge. She just got pregnant despite the fact she has ovarian cyst and huge load of fibroids, brethren she got pregnant. Her fibroid started melting and everything was OK, I know that's God, he will do things just to show off his glory and awesomeness. After 9 months, it was time, her husband rushed her to the hospital and quickly I left everything that I was doing and attended to her. She laboured for hours, after 7 hours, it was so painful so we decided to open her up. We lost her but the baby was alive,. Before her death, she held the baby in her arms and smiled "God is great" and then she gave up the ghost. I was devastated and sad, I went to broke the news to her husband myself, upon hearing the news, her husband fainted, their happy day just turned sour. We lost a live just to deliver a new life today. Please respect women because they pass through the valley of death to bring life. Respect your wife! Carrying your baby for 9 months is no jokes and labouring for hours to give birth to your children is a huge sacrifice. I pray to God to please protect everyone reading this, especially pregnant women, please put them in your prayers. Dear husband, I repeat respect your wife because she is truly the giver of life. May God strengthen all pregnant women, you will all deliver your babies like the women of Hebrew. Don't ignore this post, share to others it is very important because the women in our lives should be worshipped. Please if you are having problems with your mother and you refused to call her, I beg you to CALL HER NOW! she went through hell to give birth to you. Show some love to women, they are super. Please share. GOD BLESS WOMEN! 4 Likes |
Literature / When We Speak Of Nothing! by Yuji: 9:28pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
Olumide Popoola’s novel about a transgender character is inspired by a Yoruba ‘transgendered’ god ‘Esu’.................... For quite some time now, there has been a ‘go back to the root’ movement, and those spearheading this movement are mostly Nigerian writers, who have been merging our culture and beliefs with 21st century events, terminologies and technology turn-around agenda and it has been paying off. Recall that Nnedi Okoroafor’s novel ‘ Who Fears Death’ will soon be made into HBO TV Series and George RR Martin, the guy behind Game Of Thrones is already on the project. Another lady who is doing something spectacular with her novel ‘ When We Speak of Nothing’ is Olumide Popoola, a London-based Nigerian-German author. Her book is a fast-paced narrative, that takes a deep look into the lives of the book’s lead characters, examining their struggles, identity and experiences as they navigate through their lives. Popoola’s novel gave life to an imaginary narrative of life of a transgender boy, Karl, who has a Nigerian father but was born in the U.K. The author has also explained her reasons for setting a novel looking at legal and societal acceptance of LGBT people, in both the UK and Nigeria. Here’s what she had to say about her book; “A few years ago the BBC ran a programme called ‘The world’s worst place to be gay?’. The programme presenter travelled to Uganda which was on the brink of passing a new law that could have introduced the death penalty for being gay, the so called Kill The Gays Bill. In the end an amended version was approved, the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2014. Nigeria has its own version and introduced the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act in January 2014. The BBC programme looked in detail at the reasons that made the Kill The Gays Bill possible, especially the connection to right-wing, fundamentalist evangelists from the US, who are using Uganda (and other places) as their playground for playing god. I found the framing of the narrative unnecessary, difficult, especially with the title. It is too close to the self-congratulating notion that the West is progressive – ‘see, all the marriage equality laws we have now?’ – while in this assumption the global South is portrayed as archaic, queerphobic by nature, and the worst place to be when you live your life outside the heteronormative status quo. No mistaking, these anti-LGBT laws are horrible and do real life threatening damage. They legitimise queer- and transphobic attacks and criminalise sexuality and gender. They need to be contested and fought because they infringe on human rights. On the other hand they do not tell you who will accept you, or where you might feel safe in your day to day life. And laws are not always a reflection of the cultural possibilities. This type of framing – The Worst Place To Be Gay – also erases cultural histories and opportunities. Esu Elegba, the Yoruba god of the crossroads was my writing patron for When we Speak of Nothing. Esu is widely accepted to be androgynous, simultaneously a beautiful woman and a potent man. If you thought through the mythology from a contemporary standpoint, with current discussions around gender in mind, it is easy to see Esu as a possible patron for trans persons. In When We Speak of Nothing I reverse the notion that law equals acceptance. Karl, the trans protagonist, has a much harder time finding widespread acceptance in London, than in Nigeria. In Nigeria Mena, the cook at the bottom of the apartment complex Karl stays in, makes links to other Nigerians who have openly lived gender as the continuum it is. She references Charly Boy, a musician and entertainer who wore women’s makeup and hairstyles. And Area Scatter, a 1960s musician widely described as cross-dressing but who allegedly, by his own accounts, went into the wilderness to return seven month later as a woman. When we look at how far we have come in the UK, celebrating 50 years of partial decriminalisation of homosexuality, it is good to look at the whole picture: hate crimes do exists, even in cool urban places like London. And Nigeria, like Uganda, has a thriving LGBT scene. Perhaps underground but nonetheless. There is activism and advocacy, scholarly work and artist expression. It was important for me to show in When We Speak of Nothing that understanding can come easily, despite horrible laws. To show how complex it is, understanding and love, how we cannot know who will embrace us the most. Even if on paper we are in the wrong place.” The book also has a lot of possible distractions and detours (Niger Delta pollution, London riots, alternative family and race). 1 Like |

Romance / Re: Ladies! Does Keeping Your Virginity Till Marriage Make You A Better Person?? by Yuji: 8:46am On Aug 23, 2017 |
YelloweWest:Are you minding the chauvinist? If you tell them to show you in the bible where God said only women should be virgins till marriage they can't,all these silly hypocrites looking for Virginia. That was how one was deceived by an experienced runsgirl. She used alum and pig's blood on their wedding night and till today the poor man thinks he married a virgin. Keep searching for Virginia until you marry Jezebel herself. Also,what does it profit a anyone to marry as a virgin and still go to hell?? Fornication and adultery are not the only sins in the bible. My only advice is keep your virginity because of God not anybody. 2 Likes |

STEVENcrack:Like I said before,just because he didn't have spiritual growth in one church doesn't mean others there don't have. So instead of concluding on your own personal experience, just leave and go so that others who can see the benefit of the church stay and enjoy it. Its just like people who chase miracles, they would never get satisfied, because if one new church opens and they say miracles, they still rush there. Most lack faith in God and depend on pastors to show them the way. 2 Likes |

STEVENcrack:Oga your church doesn't owe you a personal relationship with God neither does your priest or pastor. Salvation is a single race. If you keep depending on other human beings like yourself to get salvation or know God personally you would never know Him or make heaven. #fact. Go to church not because of anyone but because you want to be close to God. Stop looking for salvation in your pastor or priests,they are also human and fallible. 2 Likes

STEVENcrack:Nobody is seeing him like an enemy Oga. Stop all this blabbering. If really you were a catholic as you claimed you should know that Catholics don't care about losing members. They are not like other churches that source for members as if they are selling something. To these churches more advert means more members and more money. Since you left the catholic church have you become a millionaire?? Or has it reduced the ever-growing population of the Catholics? Even in those protestant churches,there are special things they do for their 'registered' church members that they don't do for others who just come any Sunday they wish. So stop all this hypocritical talk. BTW I used to be a Christ Embassy member,I have also been to Sabbath,Redeemed and Winners. So I know how they operate. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
