This has nothing to do with personal resolve. The ability to overcome sin is given from above. Paul said he saw his body doing the things he didn't want to do. The answer is Faith in Christ's finished work of salvation. You must first acknowledge that your personal human efforts can't save from sins and stop trying, then you put you entire trust in Christ's ability to save from sins, pray to him and ask him to come into your life as your lord and personal saviour, Believe he has done (this is very important because guilt and doubt as to whether or not you have been saved is what the devil uses to return people to bondage. The truth is that the moment you prayed to Jesus to come into your life, He did and saved you and made you his child. We know that because he promised that in his word). Finally just keep walking in your new faith in God and watch Him do his work of sanctification in you. It won't happen overnight but the more you walk with Jesus, the more you become Christ like(Christian). He will do away with all those sinful habits you are talking about and make a new, beautiful thing out of your life

If this was absolutely true, with the way we pray in Nigeria, we go dey heaven already.

What did this one turn into?

Boy, girl or old woman?

Heromaniaa:
This is what all those self acclaimed feminists should do. Instead of going about yapping about gender inequality and masculine chauvinism, you can make yourself the boss and liberate other women. A lion does not proclaim its lionery, not a tiger its tigeritude; It is only a buffoon that chants its buffoonery and a nincompoop its nincompoopery.

Enough said.

I hope you sef no dey yap when the job you applied for goes to another person due to some prejudice about you and not due to talent.

I hope you also practice what you preach.

couragekebs:
its simple... drop small thing n dey would leave u... just as u dey hustle, na dere own hustle b DAT... make we all learn to respect each others hustle... a few bottles of beer don solve evrytin... happy Sunday efry1

Educate us please.

Which kain hustle be dat?

Dem dey hustle another person hustle?

In that case, armed robbery sef na hustle na.

Why I dey even waste my time with this post? Enough Nigerians believe say thiefing politicians sef dey hustle.

In Naija everything done turn upside dow.

Respect the deceased's family members.

Do not leave them with horrid pictures of their loved one's last moments.

This situation is already sad enough.

NAIRALAND and stewpid photographers should stop immortalizing this moment on the internet.

IDK what purpose posts like these serve. And in any case, the news can be reported without pictures.

It is too bad that the toughest exam in the world doesn't produce the best doctors in the world.

It is not by toughness alone but by...

After him visit, make dem upgrade that clinic. Quick quick!!!

Which is the greater sin?

Homosexuality or Fornication/Adultery?

ednut1:
better than being molested, if the neigbour na male

I hope you don't have kids!!!

A lot of misinformation here.

Nairaland should be careful about spreading misinformation.

Injections given in the butt are intramuscular injections.

It has absolutely nothing to do with fat or with medicines being absorbed by fat.

The gluteus region happens to have the biggest muscles in the body. It is therefore the safest place to give an intramuscular injection.

Imagine injecting into a 2cm thick cardboard vs a 6cm thick cardboard. You will get better results with the thicker cardboard.

The absorption of medicine in fat is poor because fat is not well vascularized (poor blood flow). Medication that we want to be slowly absorbed can be given into fat (subcutaneous tissue). Also, when medication are manufactured for home use, these injections tend to be subcutaneous because they don't go into deep tissue and are less likely to injure deep organs. Therefore, they are safer.

babyfaceafrica:
why should dads take care of children which two people brought to this world?.. Are women just baby factory?

Both Parents have that responsibility.

However, most cultures have traditionally delegated child care to the mother.

I think that is fine. The only problem is that we don't appreciate that this is work and women are mostly left with that burden.

Imagine if you employed a nanny for your baby, you will pay for that care.

So, if the child care responsibilities are mostly being handled by one parent, the other parent also has to be responsible in some way.

HungerBAD:
This Enugu boy go learn new thing.

You came to the US on a Student Visa to School, and na Belle things? so, just incase you do not know how the system works, let me remind you so you will know.

NA 18 Years of Taking care of that Child(and by extension HER too) no matter what. You miss one Child support, na Jail you go end up in. So make sure you keep making money in the next 18 Years, as you are not dealing with a Nigerian Lady that are usually very understanding.

So, who is supposed to take care of the kid?

It is unfortunate we need laws that make Dads take care of their children.

Maybe if we had those laws in Nigeria, our men will only Father children that they can afford to care for.

And we wouldn't have so many suffering children

Venerable612:
I wake up each day to check updates on how Nigeria is progressing via Nairaland.

Each time I am disappointed by the headlines I see. Its either someone jumps into lagoon, father rapes daughter, Senator is kidnapped, President's aides steals money, mother cuts her child into two, or one celebrity is pictured eating Eba this morning.

This is honestly, not a sign of good things and I am unhappy that Nairaland plays a part in making us (especially the youths) more bitter and for some, gullible followers of celebrity.

As much as these things happens, too many unnecessary news make it up to front page and at that it just feels as if nothing good happens in this country. Why will our friends abroad want to come back home when all they hear is kidnapping and poverty?

Advice: If Nairaland wants, you can create a section for weirdo news and limit the number those updates on front page. Lots of bad things happen in the UK and other developed countries but they know to manage their PR. You dont want to give your investors a notion that they cant come to do business in your country safely. Zuckerberg was in Nigeria last year and nothing happened to him

With healthy changes, traffic can still be maintained on this Forum.

The report is confusing and might be false. It was "said to be credited to the commissioner of police". But it seems to be false news. And sometimes Nairaland is responsible for propagation of these types.

By the way, you made a great suggestion. We are our own worst enemy.

These things OP posted may have been true 20 years ago.

Not any more.

And if you are driving around with a dead battery... you should definitely stick with a manual transmission or walk

We cry about racism...

But we can't even practice what we preach among ourselves.

wink2015:
I am wondering how Cancer can make a human to loose his or her limb. It is quite unthinkable that we have such a cancer.

Anyway, the medical theorist have the proof

Just be happy that you don't have to experience it.

Otherwise, you will have the proof. First hand!!!

There has to be some technical flaw in the design of these buses that makes them catch fire.

Too many cases of this.

The case of the exploding airbags by Takata in so many Japanese vehicles is being probed in the US.

But as per Nigeria, we will leave it in the hands of god.

Because our leaders are non existent.

goingape1:
useless baboons!

ain't ya the one who said dishonest and vigorous things to we men just because ya have one smelly holes and think all men want is ya smelly looking Dirty irritating holes

if we talk of the numerous dishonest things ya baboons have said or done to us, is enough for a whole community to jump into the lagoon.


do you know what really amazed me with ya black baboons? when a gentile guy come ya way, ya banana brains will automatically classified him as not ya type and so therefore try to use him and dump or extract some change in his pocket

there is a saying that goes like: "A baboons will always be like baboons"

Oh boy. You dey vex ooo.

Your own sef go come. One day one day.

Sorry.

Edum13656:
Looking at his knuckles, methinks he is bleaching or skin-toning.

Not even only bleach.

Savlon sef.

If the guy had slapped her back now, na another story we go dey hear.

Or the poor boy go dey jail.

If na better country now, dem for sue the girl and the Papa and dem go settle well well.

Anyhow, very soon now, we go hear say Emir no dey talk to press. So therefore, these are not really his words or this doesn't represent his views.

The blame is on both sides.

Men cheat, Women cheat.

Men more than women.

It doesn't matter whether they are married, engaged, dating, baby father etc.

An unfaithful person is an unfaithful person.

The blame is 50% to the man and 50% to the woman.

Many cultures and society in general have historically been unfair to women.

Go ask the cheating woman that Jesus saved from being stoned to death.

I am sure she wasn't cheating with herself.

To a large extent, behavior is cultural.

A lot of things we do these days were regarded as sacrilege back in the days.

If you look at the history of modern medicine, physicians were barbaric and not acceptable to the community back in the days (they practiced with dead bodies. Made contact with blood and all those types of things)

Drinking alcohol is regarded as a sin by some people but it is a cultural norm with some people. Jesus turned water into wine for "christ sake"

African/Nigerian christianity is infused with our ritualistic cultural practices and to make things worse, we are so judgmental of things that are not "ours" and we therefore contradict the whole essence of Jesus' message of acceptance.

jfolorun:

The ones written regarding your African deities are nothing but slavery, wickedness and hatred. How many innocent souls have been killed over the ages because these dead deities required human sacrifice. The gospel of Jesus brought freedom, peace and love to our lives.

Freedom for those who understand.

But the way our African brothers (opportunists) have been practicing, it is a tool of bondage!

All these our Naija pastors sha. Na Wa.

Na so dem dey accuse old people and children for street of being witches and demons be dat ooo!!!

Oyinbo wey teach us christianity sef no dey practice dem own like dis.

But na we sabi pass. We don infuse our Ojuju practices into "christianity"

Anyway sha, Freeze should sue this man for defamation.

Make dem imprison am according to "our constitution"

mdokaba1:
Even with all the cries from sidelined regions of the countriy in terms of his lopsided appointment, his appointment of new heads of parastatals is still reflective of the same old deaf president who seems to see northerners as the only trust worthy appointees to vacant positions.

His lopsided appointments is killing our unity. The Culture of silence MUST STOP!!!!

#MyTake

Meanwhile apologies Nigerians, My vote counted for this Nonsense. Good luck please forgive me. (Us)

Can you please educate me/us on what the "Federal character Policy" is. Is it Law?

Sincerely curious.

Because, If Mr President is in violation of a Law in our constitution, this can and should be contested.

No way to know the truth.

The things you say on social media are immortalized.

I guess he just denied all the questionable posts that may or may not have come from him

Politics?? Posturing to run for presidency??

All of una be same gang!!!

Anyhow, Naija go better by force by force.

judedwriter:


God knows everything from the end to the beginning. For example, Enoch prophesied the coming of Jesus even before the birth of Noah! God knew that Judas would intentionally betray Jesus from the beginning.

Jesus actually gave Judas a chance to repent, when He told His disciples that one of them would betray Him. But he didn't. Even after betraying Jesus, Judas didn't seek for mercy-he hanged himself!

If God already knew that Judas would intentionally betray Jesus, what was the point of Jesus giving Judas the chance to repent.

Judas never really had a chance it seems.

And If Jesus died for our sins, we should be grateful to Judas for doing what all the other 11 disciples couldn't do... for the salvation of mankind.

It is very likely that there is something medically wrong with the child.

Could be a brain tumor. There are other metabolic conditions that could cause this.

Child needs a hospital before she dies.

But India is just as poor as Nigeria. Maybe a better organized and not as corrupt, so things seem to work better there.

mamadsquare:
Did you mean 14.5 instead of 4.5kg? Because some babies are born at up to 4.5kg.

The diet and quantity of food is something else.

Mother India

Post is misleading.

Baby weighs 2 stone and 10 pounds. That is a total of 38 pounds = about 17 kg

Culture (which is a way of life for people) evolves according to the situation.

When the world used to be uncivilized and everything was a Jungle, certain things made sense.

Demeaning things we used to do are being phased out.

for example Female circumcision, tribal marks.

The notion that brides should be traded is demeaning and it carries over to Men feeling like they own Women.

Women are not commodities.

Africa is not a dark continent. We need to move forward!!!

And also,

If you are a christian and you relish the killing of muslims.

Or you support the persecution of any human being, just because they are not christians

Or you resent christians of a different denomination

Or you resent and judge people you do not know about

Or you relish and partake in bringing others down

Or you relish and partake in jungle justice (because some of the people that flogged Jesus didn't even know him or understand what he was being charged with)

You are just as guilty.

Love your neighbor (fellow human being) as you love yourself.
