To some extent there are.

But trust me, those that truly worship God in spirit and in truth are easy to spot.

Spot where.. America or Nigeria?

America. Those that are really sincere. Over here, you may think someone is sincere but get closer and you see skeletons in their cupboards. Over there, their hypocrites are easier to spot if you are smart enough because they are not very good pretenders.

No need to roll eyes before it gets stuck

Your words belie your so called facts

U say they have hyprocrites who can easily be known

Are u aware of a NY Governor who was sleeping with escorts for years but was only caught on a technicality - becuase the girl traversed state lines

Are u aware of the SSS detail attached to Obama who went to town in South America a few years back

You know little of the topic u are writing on.. and a few weeks a year is not enough to make categorical statements on a country.

How does that have to do with Christianity? We were talking about religion.

They aren't unambiguous. You just need to stop picking only one line from comments. Understand the whole post first and even the subject matter and how some lines fit in before commenting. Trust me, that's the main problem with you guys. Ain't no way a post can be so unambiguous that people will understand two totally different things from it unless they only selected words.

You guys should learn and improve on your reading skills.

Lol. The reason why I am doing this is to fight against cyber bullying. I really need to let some kids know that this ain't cool at all. You can't just breeze into a thread and start cursing and insulting a poster for saying something harmless.

Ki ni big deal if all my points are not entirely true? You can say that without exploding for heaven sake. This isn't a life or death, national issue where you can get heated up with people who are not helping the country with their sentimental or backward thinking. This is just a fun thread so why come in here and start ranting like you run the world? Ask the stinky brat what is going on in Nigeria and how she has lent her voice and she won't have a clue. Yet she's here forming leader of the American biitches gang over wetin na?

I am almost 30, much older than her and although I am past this stage, I need to show her that she's just a learner in her field and that there are people who will make her hide her slimy self in her bedroom if she crosses their path.

This nonsense must stop!

biafranqueen: Then keep her in the village and do DNA every birth of a child to be sure grin

Mbanu... NEVER. I won't keep my wife in the village, doesn't speak well of me. That I won't part with my money doesn't mean my wife is promiscuous, i.e. for me to DNA every child of mine. Divorce is a bitter process between a man and woman; it's NEVER sweet. You know how marriage is sweet, that's how bitter divorce is. If my wife suffered with me through sweat and wealth, then I will be greedy to keep it to myself, by the grace of God, I will definitely split it 50:50, but if not 70:30. grin

UchihaMadara:

Imagine the bulllshit, that's why I love some things in this our jungle of a Nation, there is sometimes serenity amidst the madness.

My future wife (if in Nigeria), collect half my money? Half my house? in Nigeria? Hahahaa!

In Nigeria you simply follow a two step process:

1. Lift her up gently to avoid muscle strain.
2. Carry her out of your compound and lock your gate.
That is why with all the shiit women take from african men,it would be very stupiid for any jobless woman to marry a typical nigerian male that reasons like you. To even think that some of you demand that your future wives must be housewives shows all the signs of pure wickedness.

This is highly impossible!!! In fact, there's no virgin in this world! At most, the percentage will be struggling to hit 5%. Pervs everywhere.

Sweetlemon: Yeah we all think America is a liberated, free country for all. But what we do not know is that to some extent, there are things that Americans still practice despite all the feminism and human rights movements, some even outdated.

1. Ain't Nothing Like Gender Equality: Yes there are a few superwomen here and there. Beyonce there, Oprah Winfrey there, female supreme court judges, etc. But there is a line drawn somewhere. Do you know that there are still many jobs that pay men more than women for doing exactly the same thing? Business policies are more male-tailored, also the percentage of female CEOs of top companies in Nigeria for instance is far more than that of the US. That's why they have so many laws protecting women to make up for this.
Also, it will be easier for a female president to come out from Nigeria than US (black or white) Let's bet this. Hilary Clinton fans take note of this.

2. They Actually Have a Deep Rooted Culture; Thanksgiving and 4th of July are traditions that will remain till thy kingdom comes and they follow it religiously. They also have certain kinds of music, food, and ways of partying that are strictly American. Apart from their atheists, they collectively say grace at the table during every family meal. They also have a tradition they observe in the weddings. Their weddings are more like trad and white rolled into one.

3. There Are Probably More Percentage Of Housewives In The US Than In Nigeria (minus rural settings); Go to high brow areas like Bel-air where there are wives of successful lawyers and and surgeons doing nothing all than taking care the kids and going shopping. Not just high brow but almost all classes of people. There are more and more housewives choosing to stay back and take care of the home. Some work from the house though.

4. There Are Lots Of Gold Diggers; This is for the "Nigerian girls and money" criers. American and Russian babes no dey carry last in the area of god digging. Marrying an American woman is like getting ready to loose more than half your wealth because in case of a divorce, the courts will give her most of your wealth which you will have to work hard to replenish. Sometimes it"s worse if she already has her own money, she will make sure she gets a good lawyer to squeeze you dry. But American billionaires have ways of making new money so they are coping. Lol. Do you know there are many, many young even middle aged attractive women with the sole aim of marrying wealthy men?

5. Straight Guys Hate Gay Guys; With a passion! Go to American sites and blogs and see anonymous comments from straight guys about gay men. You will coil! Words like "gay asss" or "gay" are used to ridicule them codedly. Gays can NEVER have equal rights in America. Politicians just use them to score points. They all know that homosexuals cannot actually live like and get all the benefits of straight people in all American states.

6. An American Guy Will Choose A Virgin Over A LovePeddler As Wife; Unless, of course love comes in, contrary to what people think that American men don't care about morality in their women, they will pick an inexperienced girl over a LovePeddler any time any day. Not like they are looking for virgins, but they need and crave decent women. If you don't believe me, watch BAGGAGE on Dstv 127 almost every evening. Also visit American blogs and forums. Yes the Average American guy can't resist some one night stands here and there but he can't marry her. Yes they can have baby mamas and even live with them, but they don't marry them.

7. There Are Actually More Percentage of Virgins In America Than In Most Countries In Africa; Some of them are the miss-goody-two-shoes, no makeup, no fancy dresses types while some are the party girl types. They chose to remain virgins not for religious reasons or because they are good girls but because they chose to preserve it for that special man, or to auction it off! Lol! Is it not oyibos that auction that virginity? Some as old as 26 years old!


8. American Guys Go To Meet Their Girlfriend's Families Long Before Nigerian Guys Are Ready For Such; They are also old-fashioned when it comes to serious relationships. Opening car doors, taking you out on several dates, and even meeting your folks before taking you to his house or asking you to come to his. Unlike our Nigerian niggas who get your number today and the next thing they are asking when you will come to see them!

9. Most American Grandmas Are Just As Prim And Proper As Ours; They take care of grandkids and give all the advice and lectures and are just as protective and desirous of grandkids as our own grandmothers.

If you doubt any of these, do some research.

I was about to agree with this bull crap then I saw number 7

Lie further than hell
