Pls read your bible in peace and do to it as you wish. Your christian life is between you and God. No one can and should tell you if highlighting in your bible is right or wrong. These are the little things that Paul asks us to avoid - unnecessary debates. This topic doesn't add any value whatsoever. 2 Tim 2:23 2 Likes |

Culture / Re: Why Are Yoruba's Obsessed With Greeting? by Egbagirl(f): 8:53pm On May 15, 2015 |
This is why conflicts arise. We need to learn to appreciate and respect other cultures. I appreciated the Yoruba culture more living in Senegal. In Senegal, you greet everyone whether or not you know them. The level of greeting now depends on how well you know them. If you're walking past a store or a woman selling Beignets (puff puff) by the road side (especially someone you walk past everyday), you greet her. It doesn't have to be long. It can be a smile, a nod, a "ca va", a wave, "Nanga def". If you know the person well, you stop and do a 1 min exchange. Yes, we can all get caught up with whatever we're going through but if someone says, "ah ah you can't even greet", the simplest thing to do is just apologize and say you were lost in your thoughts and keep it moving! This is how societies are maintained. This is how you build and maintain communities. You interact with people, you form relationships. We need to get over this "individualism" that's taking over our societies. Interact with people, greet them, smile, wave, do something. Yoruba people know the importance of greeting. It's a form of holding the community together as well. We have greetings for everything you can think of. Even just sitting down, we say, "e ku ijoko". When you're eating and someone walks in or sits at your table, you tell the person, "e wa jeun o" and the person replies, " ese" or "a gba ibi re". The OP and others that are vexing over this greeting thing need to stop seeing at as a chore. Instead, see it as forming relationships with people within your community. 11 Likes 4 Shares |

Politics / Re: This Is The House Where Gen Buhari Was Born (photos) + Meet His Sister by Egbagirl(f): 2:05pm On Apr 02, 2015 |
This is the problem with society and with many Nigerians. I do not know Buhari's bank account balance but even if it was 50 million dollars and he chooses to live in this same house, that is HIS choice and business. He is not obliged to spend his money the way we think he should. Everyone has things they would rather do or buy with their money. For all we know, he uses his money to send his community kids to school and provide for others in his community or extended family. We do not know and we cannot draw conclusions. As long as he is comfortable and happy, it doesn't matter what car he drives, how many houses he owns, how big they are etc. To each his own. 1 Like |

k4kings: Education is not only by certificate biko. Even our so called PHD president did not complete his doctorate according to what I hear. No greater disrespect for the world of academia than that - claiming to have a doctorate and using that to deceive people? I'll take a man with a high school diploma that is not ashamed of it over a man who cannot convince us that he actually holds a pHD in Zoology. I'll say Buhari knows and appreciates the value of Education. He remarried and chose a woman with a BA in Public Administration, who is currently pursing a Masters in International Affairs and Strategic Planning. She obviously has his blessings and support. That he does not hold a Bachelor's certificate does not mean he does not know the importance of ensuring others do. It's like saying parents do not have university degrees will never send their kids to school. Isn't it the case where parents who did not go to school do their best to ensure that their own kids attain the highest education possible? 4 Likes |

MuhdG: What nonsense ignorant chauvinistic comment is this? You're also assuming that rape only happens because a girl is dressed in a certain type of outfit or is drunk or whatever, which is wrong. No matter the situation, if sex is not consensual then it is rape. It doesn't matter what the person is wearing and whether the person is intoxicated or not. No is No. Even if the victim teases you, when they say STOP, you STOP and when they say NO, they mean NO. Some human beings 5 Likes |

2good: I can't wake up one day and say I choose to be a housewife if it hasn't been discussed w my husband. That doesn't make sense. Forget the money involved. In a marriage you cabt just make solo decisions. I don't understand how equality is entering this issue. All I'm saying is that, financial contribution is not a prerequisite for respect. If the respect you have for your partner depends on how much he/she contributes, then OYO. Each couple should discuss and agree upon what works for them. If I don't gave a job for a whole year and can't contribute financially, should that give my husband the permission to disrespect me? The same applies of the reverse is the case. Anyway, this is just a general view. Other factors come into play but the Koko of my oro is that respect should not be determined by finances. Shikena. 1 Like |
