clap for yourselves


maybe oprah would need more new converts

Well, you can choose to ignore the point of my post. You asked a question and I've answered. One's beliefs and the health of his or her relationships with other people don't always correlate. Bill Gates and Angelina Jolie are two prominent celebs who don't associate with religion, yet they're in loving relationships and do plenty for humanity. Nigerians are firm believers. That's all I'll say.

ighoosagie: nice point, but

my question is :


all men re d same (popular quote frm ladies) , while leave a man 4 anoda man, knowing fully well dat u gonna meet dsame kind. I tink u should leave a man 4 a ghost.cheesy grin

Uhm, just like you guys say 'all a girl wants is money' all generalizations and they aint true. Not every man is violent, not every man is hot tempered, not every man is lazy... The list goes on. No one is perfect yes! But the two parties in a relationship can be happy. It shouldn't be one sided. That's my point.

@free2rhyme the advise has nothing to do with what she worships.
Anyway, that's her opinion, anyone who doesn't agree can disagree as we're not subject to what she says. #she who has ears let her hear#

This same woman, Oprah Winfrey, recently suggested that homosexual couples may in fact strengthen the institution of marriage.

Are they occultics? You don't view them as role models but I'm sure that never stopped you from buying their products or admiring their work.

Anyway, that's your cup of tea. I don't need to look at someone's past or beliefs to agree with a statement in the present.

And so what? Does someone have to share my beliefs and opinions to be worthy of my attention and time?

Her views of Christ and those of anyone aren't necessarily a reflection of their person. Bill Gates doesn't associate with religion but went on to create billions of dollars from his inventions and donate some of that money to our own Africa. Angelina Jolie does not associate and she has fought for the impoverished and poor in our own Africa. The same Oprah Winfrey you want to discredit opened a girls school. Where? In our Africa. So, excuse me for not wishing to bring religion into my views of people. Beliefs aside, one can always learn from others, even if that person's my opposite.

She didn't mention religion in her comments, so why did you being it up?
You and others haven't been able to pinpoint what exactly she said wrong. Instead you posted a dead YouTube link. You don't have to agree with her, but make sure your reasons for disagreeing with her relevant.

The west is doing MUCH better than Nigeria and we know it or have you ever seen a European or American person swimming the sea and risking his / her life to get to Africa? So don't even make this comparison.

How does "economic prosperity" of the west invalidate the preservation of african family values?
How did the west became "better" than Africa if not through exploitation and plunder?
And where have you seen an african swimming to get to the west?
Mscheww.

Since we're talking religion here, I'm a Christian and I agree with oprah not because she's my role model or mentor(coz she aint) but because it just seems rational and right to me.

Religion affects peoples thinking but its not the only factor. The environment also plays a big role.
Eg, a girl who grew up in a broken home after watching her dad beat up her mum can think that all men are wicked. Another girl who saw her mum doing all in her power to make her dad happy and he not giving a hoot will take that as a norm. Also, a girl who grew up in a home where there was mutual love and respect will also see that as being normal. Hope you get my point now?

This advise has nothing to do with religion.

I wont listen let alone give audience to someone who suggests that homosexual couples may in fact strengthen the institution of marriage.

It bothers me also that non of you guys have been able to pin point what she said wrong. All you guys want is to argue abt her religion and compare cultures.lol.
If you guys don't mind, quote the part of the post where she erred. Or if you disagree with the whole post why not counter her points with reasonable arguments so that we'll know where your heads are at. wink

Hehehehe don't wanna sound sexist,but I agree with your hillarious comment..though the woman was easier to decieve by the devil,her partner(adam) was also there and received the fruit.He could have declined.and when kasala burst he shifted the blame to the woman(sharp guy)..back to topic,winfrey made logical points but she witingly forgot the fact that a relationship is not a bed of roses everytime.nobody goes into a relationship without knowing what he/she is getting into,Love is NOT blind.A blind love will obviously lead you into a ditch!..take for example the case of funke akindele,she knew about the man's numerous women AND kids but still went ahead to marry him and later started crying foul and playing the victim bleh! When a woman realises that her husband is the head of their family and that she is the neck(which supports and pivots the head) there is no obstacle that union won't overcome.I always tell my female friends that the success or failure of a relationship/marriage,hinges critically on the woman's level of understanding and virtousness..I know this because I have watched my parents for decades and I have learnt from their successful union but I can also tell you they have had their fair share of hiccups in certain periods of their union.

Yea Every lady wants a made in walt disney kind of relationship/marriage,while there is nothing wrong with wishful thinking and fantasies,one should know when to take a moment back and distinguish between fantasy and reality.Many men of of nowadays are not helping matters.No caution,no sense of honor and responsibility.According to charles dickens,'you stoop to conquer'.
