When you visit some people & you knock on their door,the way they throw questions at you might make you wanna change your mind. My aunt sent me somewhere recently and when i knocked,the questions were; Tani yen? (who is that), Kiloruko e?(what's your name) Latibo?(from where), Ta lo bere?(who are you asking after) not minding if i understand the language or not. The annoying part was that the person asking the questions was not anywhere near the door,She was screaming from God-knows-where,so even if i had wanted to explain myself,which was the last thing on my mind then,she wouldn't have heard me.so,i walked away and while i was leaving,she came out and asked questions. Given the security situation of Nigeria,one might not want to open the door to every Tom,D*ck & Harry that comes knocking without little interrogation,that i understand. And I know some knocksters-if there's such word-can be annoying cause they don't knock,they bang! There are others that even when you are close to the door and politely ask them questions from inside,they won't say a word and they keep knocking. Be that as it may, i believe there should be a way of attending to whoever is at the door without embarassing them. How do you answer when people knock on your door? |

toba: We are almost saying the sameU wanna know my view on marriage? It's different strokes for different folks. One thing i'm not gonna take is marital abuse/domestic violence. It's worse than unfaithfulness! |

duality: This got me curious especially since you pointed out Mat 5;32 my question is "can you commit Fornication with a wife?" abi, is there an issue of semantics here?I had 2 check anoda version of d bible NIV. It says 'but i tell you that anyone who divorces his wife,except for MARITAL UNFAITHFULNESS causes her to become an ADULTERESS...........and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits ADULTERY. |

About being a lesbian,i reserve my comments! It's bad enough that you are cheating on your husband,it's worse that you are doing it with your sister-in-law. Considering a break-up,haba! It's just lyk cheating on your husband with his brother & hoping the best is gonna come of it. What a fantasy! You'l end up alone cos your family won't stand up for you & your husband's family won't want you anywhere near them if they find out that you are cheating on their son even if it's with a outsider & not as a homosexual. Now you are not doing in a normal way but as a lesbian. They'l believe you are evil. The family'l oppose you. Along d line,your sister-in-law will dump you,you'l lose on all sides & you'l have nowhere to go cos d society'll see you as an outcast. The few who understand your plight won't speak up cos they don't want to be in the same boat as you. Lemme remind you dat you are in AFRICA where homosexuality is a taboo. Retrace your journey,break up with your sista-in-law & visit a Rehab cos snapping out of your fantasy might be hard to do alone,that i undastand. |
ayobase: My brother, I read ur post up there, and Im in support, but everything is not left in God's hands to handle...I have seen many ordained by God marriages failed.Why?....the couples wouldnt do the parts of theirs.Well said! |
[quote author=m.k.o2005]Thanks brother for agreein at least to an extent with my views but i tell you like you rightly said,we have our own part to play.The things i tell believers are quite different from what i tell un-believers.I chastise believers as well as encourage them.But for un-believers,it is different.See my comment below: Friend,i love your statement and questions.My church teach courtship but based on personal or life experiences likewise other churches.But i have started to make every one of us there see that for the fact that we teach it here does not make it biblical. The christian courtship can't be the time you know who the will of God is and the time you get married cos you can't court in isolation.It happens between two people.And if it's the time to know who the will of God is you dnt have to have any one at hand becos it means you are the one choosing for him to inturn APPROVE who you have presented. See the line below: If you dnt know where you are going to,ask for God's direction After you have been directed to ur would be life partner or to WHERE you will find her,and you see who you LIKE, You will find out that the person will be a 'christian'becos God is directing you, Ask yourself a question concerning your future life with that person you hav seen and liked, If you experience calmness of the heart havin asked urself that question, Please note that the calmness or disturbance in heart is a sure possible ways God speaks to even a baby christian, Havin considered all the above to be on the positive side,go ahead and propose to the person. Because you have been directed by God does not mean the person can not object to ur marriage proposal, This is where you start to work to make her accept you but not as in the case of Courtship where you go into relationship to study,learn or for compatibility check. If the would be life partner accepts you,inform your parents and she would do same then you guys can start to plan for marriager and not courtship but in a situation where she refuses to accept you,move on with life and apply same principle yuou will see you will get married easily. I tell you my brother,the devil does not want us to get married hence courtship which most certainly leads to pre-marital sex and God's wrath towards us the chosen. The coming of the lord will be like the days of Noah men will be getting married and giving out their daughters in marriage.The devil does not still like this one hence his strategic and devlish delays through courtship and others ! Remain blessed brothers.[/quote]i totally understand ur point. D thing here is,God has given u directions,u walked up 2 me & i prayed and later accepted ur proposal. R u gonna get married 2 me d following day? NO! We nid 2 sit & plan,won't we meet each odas family b4 getting married? This and stuffs lyk dat r things 2 b done during 'christian courtship'. God is not a magician,he has shown u d way,u work it out. Intimacy and sex is NOT ALLOWED. |
[quote author=m.k.o2005]'Christians'court does not mean it is the right thing to do.Who are christians?Do you mean church goers or the ignorant christians ?We are saying it isn't proper.It is not right.It contradicts the word of God.It's for un-believers and ignorant christians. I know this one is too heavy for some of us here but it's biblical.No one or church even the orthodox churches can show me where there is the mention of courtship in the bible or anything that resembles it. Please friends,if you dnt wnat to be heart broken and used and dumped as a result of frequent pre-marital sex,abstain from courtship.But if you dnt care or give a hoof,continue with courtship.[/quote]Lemme give u my definition of 'christian courtship'. It's d period between d time both parties know dat dey r 'GOD'S WILL' 4 each oda and d time they get married. During this time,both parties get 2 know each oda better,dey know their backgrounds, parents,friends,jobs,goals e.t.c. It's NEVER a time for 'sampling,testing,examining' or any oda term dey use. There r instances wen d man discovers dat d 'will of God' is far away from him and wen dey eventually meet,dey must get 2 know each oda. Dis period is d Courtship! Note: When i say christian,i'm not referring to every Tom,D*ck and Harry dat goes 2 church. |
[quote author=m.k.o2005]I dnt need to ask any pastor cos they are humans just like me.Rather i should inquire of what the bible says concerning an issue.My pastor may have gone through courtship before marriage does not make courtship a criterion for marriage. Believers or no believer,the rules are same in courtship: Go into it either anticipation to study,change,learn the person or with the aim of sleeping with the person.I repeat,courtship most CERTAINLY lead to sex before marriage.Any how you do it,you must fall victim,except it's not courtship.[/quote]Don't take dis personal please,which church do u attend? I asked coz i know most churches teach courtship and how 2 go about it. Are u telling me dat once u know 'd will of God' u just go ahead and get married? Courtship in d christian sense is d period between d time u know who 'd will of God' is and d time u get married. |
[quote author=m.k.o2005]Courtship isn't for Christians ! Though they inadvertently go into it and live with the regrets there after for those who have the consciousness of God ! Leave it for un-believers ! If God directs me to a partner,what do i need the study for ? Oh,may be i'm saying God might make a mistake so let me take my time to see if the partner is suitable for me before i say i do ! Then God i never asked for HIS direction in the first place or may be while asking,i was busy doing my own thing,may be sleeping with the would be future partner or consciously engaging in other sins that will make God stay very far away from me. Ask for HIS direction ! When you meet that person,you will see it must be a true christian. You will know it's the person when you start to feel this suiting calmness inside knowing fully well you are setling down with that person. All other study,learning,loving, compatibility check,and growth in the word will be done in marriage with the challenges that comes with it.[/quote]i beg 2 disagree,christians COURT. |

[quote author=m.k.o2005]Courtship shouldn't be mentioned among believers at all.Leave it for un believers.If i dnt know where am going to and i ask God to direct me and HE DOES,what else do i need courtship for ?I see a God fearing lady i like,i told myself of my future with her in marriage and i'm not troubled in my heart concerning that,i proposed to her and she accepts,what do i need to study her for?I know already that humans are capable of changing per time.Everything other study,learning,compatibility check,.adjustments,growth in God's ways must be in marriage it self. If you disagree with these,go ahead with ur 10-15yrs courtship,i bet you,you will still come back to all the above listed and you may finally divorce becos you will be so disappointed that u were so dumb not to have seen all those issues in courtship before marriage. Besides,in courtship that may never end in marriage,you most certainly had slept(sex)with urselves that at break up time,the lady will be the worst hit ! I must tell u,courtship brought about the high rate of divorce in the world today and it's speedily eating deep into our own society.[/quote]Says who? Av u eva spoken 2 pastors around u & asked dem if dey neva went into courtship? Courtship is necessary, BELIEVER OR UNBELIEVER. It's just dat d way believers go about it is different 4rm d way unbelievers do it. |

I totally support the idea of teachers going for training before they are absolved into the school system because it will reduce the number of half-baked teachers, who cannot express themselves fluently in our school system. CONCLUSION : Whatever!whatever!!whatever!!! The aim of the process should be to reduce duplication of ministries,efficient management of the existing ones and most importantly,better the lot of the average Nigerian. Unfortunately,It pains me to think about how many times committees like this have been set up and we have nothing to show for it. All we hear them talk about is Recommendations. I hope the funds saved from this ministries and Parastatals would be used to invest in businesses that will benefit Nigerians & not go down the drain(their purses & bank accounts). God bless Nigeria! |
I took my time to go through the recommendations of the Presidential Committee on the Rationalisation and Restructuring of Federal Government Parastals Commissions led by Stephen Orosanye. As much as i laud this development,it is not without reservations. Here are my points,submissions & recommendations. 1). With the scrapping of the Ajaokuta steel company and National steel Raw materials Exploration Agency,why do we still have the 'steel' in the Ministry of Power and Steel? 2). If the motive of this committee is genuine,why do we have the National Electricity Commission when the Ministry of Power and Steel is still in existence? 3). Merging of ICPC,EFCC and the Code of Conduct Bureau : i have said it for the umpteenth time that the existence of ICPC and EFCC is abnormal considering the fact that 80% of the Corrupt Practices (ICPC) in Nigeria is related to Financial Crimes(EFCC). These two should be merged. The Code of Conduct Bureau should be left to stay. 4). I didn't see anything related to MINDA(Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs) and NDDC (Niger Delta Development Committee),what are their functions? Are they not the same? They should be merged. 6). I saw VON,NTA & FRCN. Are they up for merging or scrapping? I didn't get that. Your views are welcome please. |
