TheEqualizer: Yep. Especially our people can be very judgmental. Everybody forms holy yet our country bad like used motor-oil. over-sabi people wey no even fit fix their personal problems. very closed-minded people with no room for further development. having someone with open-mindedness is refreshing sometimes. |

Woged2005: Haha! You're not bad yourself. I think you have got fire burning in you and you ought be a counsellor and free the rigid minds of close-minded people, to enable them to be more yielding to others, without using constructs. Once that starts happening, the world would be a better place, and humanity will benefit a great deal from it. |

I found my self in some thoughts a while back how difficult communication and social life have become since almost everyone has he or her self draped with a pious cloak; eager to impress you with bible quotations at every situation;strutting some sort of divine personality which intent is to boost their selfworth and perception before 'mortals'.if he/she arnt a pastor then he is a 'vice' pastor, or a deacon or a cell leader or choir master...if he arnt holding any position then he/she is a good bible quoting one carrying a 200 pound weight of pride on their shoulder - you see the point is, its hard getting past all that to tell a persons true personality or character.so unless I have the meaning of 'God fearing' completely misunderstood,why do people find that concept so exciting? How do you define a good man or woman and how important are they for you in the common ajudged terms; a believer and an unbeliever.really miss the good old days when life was not this much complex.Nice point 0p. |

No 5 is most times true. Some girls still go ahead looking for a sharp guy God fearing man. i had a discussion with one of my girlfriends about this. If you want a God fearing Man go for him but do not expect the same man to be doing sharp practices to make money because his colleagues are doing same. 1 Like |

First, Woged2005 gave us reasons why men shouldn't marry ''good girls/virgins", now it's why ladies shouldn't marry "god-fearing men". Some upended stuff right there. |

Gaborone: "Why ladies shouldn't marry 'god-fearing men;"? - Don't know which write-up you read, definitely not this post. "Re-think" and "shouldn't" are not same thing in my dictionary o! now you blame me for not figuring out the difference? |

Usually wouldn't reply on a thread that's gone this far but since the OP keeps responding to posters, then... First off, I believe there is a difference between a "God-fearing" and a follower of Christ. I will focus on Christians because (1) I am one and (2) when a Nigerian female calls someone God-fearing, it is usually in a Christian setting. A good muslim is usually called a good muslim or an alfa. At least in the parts of Nigeria I have been. Most christians in Nigeria today (rreally sad that it is most not some) are christians when they fill forms, are christians cos going to church on Sunday is customary or fashionable or both, are christians because they have to tip God today so that He can help their hustle tomorrow. Few are followers of Christ because they love Him. Worse are those who believe they are christians but only read the parts of the Bible that reinforce their psychosis or cultural preferences or behavioral patterns - those who say a man is the head and the woman MUST submit but choose not to see the part that says he should love his wife as his own body. You care for your body not rule your body. Different things. So Woged, your original premise is not exactly correct because any woman that marries a follower and lover of Christ, a man who will do what Christ has asked and not what he told Christ to ask will not have to go through that list of disadvantages with her husband. In fact, no husband can ever be better - go ask the prostitute that married the prophet Hosea. And for those who say there is no God, it is a matter of belief. You believe He isn't because you have your proof, I believe He is because I have my proof. It is all a matter of belief. 1 Like |

LewsTherin: Ok. wish we ladies could read minds to know who is a true Christian or not. But since we can't read minds and there's no way to know who is God-fearing or not, and going by what 'God-fearing' men have been doing in marriages lately, it makes sense for a lady to choose what's obvious rather than what's assumed. |
Re: 5 Reasons To Re-think If Marrying A God-fearing Man Is Really For You! by LewsTherin: 8:17pm On May 22, 2015 |
Woged2005: *sigh* unfortunately. Don't forget that guys are also having to choose based on what is obvious than on what is assumed. However, you will know a person that loves Christ. Inevitable. Unfortunately, those are the ones we see as "weak", "not sharp", "na only you dey this world?" That's how they are seen. The ones that are "God-fearing" on the other hand, difficult to differentiate the good from the bad. 2 Likes |

Jman06: A hilarious way to admit you can't read and comprehend any write-up longer than a short whatsapp chat and phone text from low-life girls. It's ok. Sorry, I write long posts to discourage kids who hang out on NL rather than studying.. . |

Woged2005:Sweetie, buy the post is confusing nau. That's a clear case of speaking from both sides of your mouth. On one side you were giving reasons why not to marry a godly man, but on the other you were giving reasons why a godly man is better. Looking at the title of your thread, one would have expected that you will just go straight and give reasons not to marry a godly man and not making comparisons. Abi u weed |

mystiqueDZ: a very big long rope. with their rigid sense of reasoning and understanding. if it is not the way pastor said it, then it is totally wrong u will b shocked to know how far such people will go to keep their secrets so that the rest of the church can always see them as SHINNY EXAMPLES to other church members especially when their secret is something that they always preach against |
